Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic

Raise funds for Texas Students!

The Annual Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic is a fundraising event where teams come together to support Texas students. One hundred percent of the funds raised at the tournament directly benefit the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Program, which has awarded more than $32 million in auction awards and college scholarships throughout its history.

In 2025, the 15th Annual Big Tex Clay Shoot Classic was a true bullseye for Texas youth. More than $324,000 was raised, with all proceeds supporting the Fair’s Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Program.
