Over $500,000 Raised at Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala

TYLER — Nearly $526,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society at last June’s Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala. The announcement was made Wednesday evening at Tyler’s ACS headquarters. The cancer society’s Mauri douglas says attendees responded very well to changes in this year’s event. Those included a switch from outdoors to indoors, at Harvey Convention Center, and the addition of a mobile bidding app. Next year’s gala is set for August 20, again at Harvey Convention Center. Douglas says August falls during a time of year when more entertainment is available.
