Fort Bend County Museum News: Another Successful Stomp!

Over 450 guests filled the arena at George Ranch Historical Park on Saturday, April 20 for Lone Star Stomp XXIV, the annual fundraising gala benefiting the educational and historic preservation efforts of Fort Bend County Museum Association.

Comprised entirely of items and packages generously donated by local supporters of the Fort Bend County Museum Association, the live and silent auctions were the highlight of the evening, raising nearly $50,000 alone. Total proceeds from the event grossed over $122,000 thanks to the compassionate charity of the local community who continues to whole-heartedly support this event and organization year after year. Proceeds from this event provide a significant percentage of the Fort Bend County Museum Association’s annual operating budget and funds educational and historic preservation efforts as well as community services and programs.

Executive Director of Fort Bend County Museum Association, Candace Jones said, “We are incredibly grateful to have a community that is ready willing and able to help us keep Texas history alive for generations to come. We could not do this without the individuals and business who continue to selflessly contribute to the prosperity of the Fort Bend County Museum Association with their hard work and dedication.”

Fort Bend County Museum Association would like to express our deepest appreciation for all who attended, contributed and donated to this year’s Lone Star Stomp. Because of the generosity and support of our local community, the association is able to continue preserving historic land marks, teaching children about Texas heroes, and protecting endangered historical resources of Fort Bend County.
