The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska, a charity whose mission is to raise money for cancer research through an annual fundraiser, is taking place at the Cass County Fairgrounds in Weeping Water, Neb., on Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4. The Ball is a completely volunteer-run event, and we need YOUR help to make it a success!

Or, if you're unsure of where you'd best fit, we'll place you in a volunteer role based on need.
And don't fret - we want you to enjoy the event - so we're only asking for a few hours of your time!
