JOIN US IN SUPPORTING TEXAS YOUTHS
In addition to our annual State Fair of Texas exposition, we host several other fundraising events throughout the year, with 100% of all proceeds from each event going directly to the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs.
The Fair’s scholarship program benefits students who have competed in youth livestock events at the State Fair, students attending six DISD high schools in the Fair Park area, and seasonal employees of the State Fair of Texas or their dependents. Through the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, the State Fair has awarded more than $21.4 million in auction awards and new college scholarships since 2018.
