The Dickey Foundation Hosts 5th Annual Denim & Diamonds Charity Gala

Annual fundraiser returns with live entertainment, Texas barbecue, auctions and more to benefit first responder safety and wellness initiatives

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pull out your boots and dust off your denim because one of North Texas' favorite nights of giving is back. The Dickey Foundation, the charitable arm of Dickey's Barbecue Pit, is proud to once again honor the brave men and women who protect our communities through its annual Denim & Diamonds fundraiser.

The action-packed evening of barbecue, boots and big-hearted giving will take place on Thursday, October 22, at 6:30 p.m. at On the Levee, located at 1108 Quaker St., Dallas, TX 75207, in the Dallas Design District. Guests will enjoy delicious food and drinks, live entertainment from crowd-favorite '90s country band Western Rewind, the always-popular Champagne Diamond Bar, a raffle and silent auction, a special performance by the Lake Highlands Wildcat Wranglers Dance Team and, most importantly, an unforgettable evening celebrating and supporting the first responders who protect and serve our communities every day.

This year, The Dickey Foundation is introducing a new way for attendees to give back. For just $50, supporters can purchase a First Responder Ticket, providing a local first responder with the opportunity to attend the Denim & Diamonds event as a guest of the Foundation. Specialty First Responder Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.

General admission tickets are available through the following tiered pricing schedule, with guests encouraged to purchase early to secure the best available pricing:

• August 1 through August 31: $60 per person
• September 1 through September 30: $75 per person
• October 1 through October 22: $100 per person

As always, 100% of ticket sales and sponsorship proceeds from Denim & Diamonds directly benefit The Dickey Foundation and its mission to support the safety, wellness and resilience of first responders nationwide.

Additionally, several sponsorship opportunities are available starting for as little as $1,000 for the Patron sponsorship. To purchase tickets click HERE or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities click HERE.

Last year's Denim & Diamonds fundraiser raised over $200,000 to help equip, protect and support the brave first responders who answer the call every day. Their unwavering courage inspires The Dickey Foundation's mission, and every ticket purchased helps ensure they have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.
