Your Gift Changes Lives, One Student at a Time

The Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction celebrates Texas students who invest time, energy, and passion into raising livestock projects. Winning exhibitors sell their projects at a live auction, where donors pay premium prices for the students’ hard work.

Every dollar – 100% – you give makes a direct impact in a student’s life. Funds raised go to youth exhibitors and the Big Tex Scholarship Program, helping students across Texas pursue higher education and achieve their dreams.

No gift is too big or too small to support the next generation of Texans.

Give today and make a difference in a Texas student’s life.

The State Fair of Texas is passionate about agriculture, education, and supporting students through the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction & Scholarship Programs.  

The State Fair is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Any contribution of $250 or more will receive a tax letter noting the deductible portion of a contribution.
