The Annual Grand Western Shindig

The 46th Annual Grand Western Shindig

Our 46th Annual Grand Western Shindig is right around the corner and we need your (cowboy!) boots on the ground! This unforgettable evening is more than just a celebration of Texas spirit. It’s our largest and most important fundraiser of the year, supporting vital programs and services that help children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live with greater independence, dignity, and joy.

Every dollar raised at Shindig directly fuels daily care, life skills coaching, job training, and residential support for the people we are honored to serve. With your help, we can ensure that our neighbors with IDD have every opportunity to be included, productive, and truly independent. Join us and make a difference – one life, one two-step, one dance at a time.

Thank you to Sydney and Parker Hensley for graciously serving as Chairmen of our 46th Annual Grand Western Shindig for 2025. Shindig will be hosted on Thursday, November 6, 2025 when more than 700 friends will come together and enjoy another year of fun and fundraising at the Mays Family Center at the Witte Museum. Thank you to the hundreds of individuals, families and businesses who continue to make this event possible.

Mission Road Ministries cares for children and adults with IDD (intellectual developmental disabilities). The Grand Western Shindig helps to raise critical funding that helps bridge the gap between state and federal funding that allows for the minimum standard of care and the total funding required to provide the exceptional care our clients require and deserve to reach their greatest potential for Independence, Productivity and Inclusion in the community.
