Saddle Up for a Cause: Dining for Dignity
Hosted by the Justice Reform Foundation
Friday, May 16, 2025 | 6:00 PM
Bowie House Auberge – Fort Worth, TX
Join us for an unforgettable evening in support of second chances and human dignity. Saddle Up for a Cause: Dining for Dignity brings together community leaders, changemakers, and advocates for a fun and inspiring night of western charm and impactful giving.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of the luxurious Bowie House Auberge, guests will enjoy an elevated 3-course plated dinner, signature cocktails, a silent auction, and a private performance by Straight Tequila Night – a Vogue-featured band known for bringing the energy and soul of ‘90s country back to life.
The evening will feature a special guest speaker, Cory Session, former Vice President of the Innocence Project of Texas and one of the state's most influential voices on criminal-justice reform and heartfelt testimonials from students in our Criminal Defense Clinic at Texas A&M University School of Law, who will share their experiences and the real impact the clinic is making across the DFW community.
All proceeds benefit the Justice Reform Foundation’s criminal defense clinic and Clean Slate initiatives, helping individuals rebuild their lives after incarceration.
Put on your boots, bring your hearts, and help us restore dignity—one life at a time. Attire is Cowboy Chic!
