Why the West Texas Rehab Center Matters

This night isn't just about entertainment, it's about supporting a mission that changes lives. The West Texas Rehabilitation Center has been serving our community for decades, offering world-class care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

On a personal note, I remember when my dad was stationed at Dyess Air Force Base. I was just a kid, and I needed adjustments for my left arm prosthesis. The West Texas Rehab Center took me in, treated me with kindness and respect, and never once asked my parents for a dime. That’s the kind of heart this organization has. They truly take care of our community.

Make It a Night to Remember

When you buy a table or donate, you're helping someone regain their ability to walk, speak, or live independently. You're supporting veterans, children, and everyday Texans who rely on the West Texas Rehab Center for physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

So come out for an incredible night of live music, laughter, and purpose. Let’s fill the Abilene Convention Center with love, generosity, and maybe even a few happy tears.

Gabby Barrett. Great food. A great cause. Let’s make memories, together.
