Raise the Roof: The Outlaws & Angels Mission

At Cherokee Outlaw Ranch, we live by a simple but powerful truth: no soul is too lost to be found, and no heart is too broken to be mended. Located in Willis, Texas, our ranch is a sanctuary where "Hearts & Horses Come to Heal."

The Vision: A Year-Round Refuge

Our mission is to rescue horses that have been abandoned or neglected and give them a new purpose. These resilient animals become partners in healing for children and adults who are overcoming their own trauma, abuse, and neglect.

However, our ability to provide this life-changing connection is currently limited by the Texas elements. When the summer heat becomes dangerous or the rain turns our ground to mud, the healing must stop.

Our Goal: $75,000 for Phase 1 of our Covered Arena.

By "Raising the Roof," we are building more than a structure—we are building a guarantee. This covered arena will ensure that our rescues and the people we serve have a safe, shaded, and dry environment to do the hard work of healing, 365 days a year.

The Gala: A Night of Purpose

On May 2, 2026, we are trading our work boots for dancing shoes and our dusty hats for "Black Hat" formal wear. The Outlaws & Angels Gala is our primary drive to fund this vital project.

Your $300 "Outlaw's Pass" is a foundational gift. While it grants you a seat at the table for a legendary night, the true value lies in the beams and rafters it will provide for our ranch.

What to Expect

Join us at the 9th Sky Reserve starting at 5:00 PM for an evening that celebrates the cowboy spirit:

Gourmet Cowboy Dinner: A premium seated meal.
Horse Demonstrations: Experience the powerful bond between our rescues and the people they help.
High-Stakes Auctions: Your chance to bid on unique items in our Live and Silent auctions.
Dancing & Music: Celebrate our progress under the Texas stars with live entertainment.

Whether you’re an "Outlaw" with a bit of grit or an "Angel" with a lot of heart, we need you to help us Raise the Roof.

Every ticket sold brings us one step closer to our $75,000 goal. Saddle up—let’s build this sanctuary together.
