160 Cowboys and Cowgirls. Frozen Yogurt. One incredible night.
Our Abilene Family Gathering on Friday was one for the books and it's all because of the people who showed up. Thank you to every alum and friend who came out to connect, catch up, and remind us why this community is something special.
HOOYAH, Cowboys. 🤠💜
