Texas Night

Texas Night is an annual event that has been held for the past 11 years to bring a little bit of Texas to the almost 400 Texas Cadets and their non-Texas Cadet guests at the United States Air Force Academy.  Every year more than 200 parents and other volunteers make the trip from Texas to Colorado Springs to serve the best BBQ from the state of Texas to approximately 2000 Cadets, Staff, and families at the United States Air Force Academy .  In 2019 we served 2400 lbs of brisket, pulled pork and sausage all of it brought from Texas. Numerous Texas based food and drink companies donate their products in an effort to remind the Cadets of Texas. In addition to a home cooked meal the Cadets are treated to an assortment of Texas Trivia, games and contests in an effort to take their minds off their duties and simply enjoy the night in our Texas themed decorated ballroom. The goal of Texas Night is to serve future United States Air Force Officers not only from Texas but from all of our great nation. Many USAFA graduates transfer to Air Force bases all over the State of Texas to conduct their training before their first base assignments. They truly appreciate all of the volunteers efforts and the donations from our supplier Sponsors. Thank you to all that help make this a success.
