2025 Honorary Celebrity Co-Chairs
Dallas Cowboy Chair
Randy White
A Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl champion and nine-time Pro Bowl selection, Randy White was one of the most dominant defensive tackles in NFL history.
In college, Randy attended University of Maryland, where he won the Outland Trophy, the Lombardi Award, and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year. In 1994, he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame and in 2000 was named to ABC Sports All-time All-America Team.
In the 1975 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected White in the first round. Throughout his 14 seasons (1975-1988) with the Cowboys, he earned his nickname – “The Manster” – which perfectly described his half-man half-monster defensive mindset on the field. White retired in 1988 having only missed one game during the span of his NFL career. Throughout his time with the Cowboys, White received many honors. In 1977, he was named co-MVP of Super Bowl XII with teammate Harvey Martin, making him one of only seven defensive players to win that honor. In 1978, he was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Year and would be named to nine consecutive All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams.
During his 14 years with the Dallas Cowboys, White played in three Super Bowls, six NFC Championship Games, and accumulated 1,104 tackles and 111 sacks. White now resides in the Dallas area with his family.

2025 Entertainment
Josh Abbott Band
For nearly two decades, Josh Abbott Band have held strong as one of the most potent and vital forces in Texas country music. Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Josh Abbott, the Lubbock-bred seven-piece have built an ardent following on the strength of their high-octane live show, relentless touring schedule, and seven acclaimed studio albums spotlighting their powerhouse sound and fiercely honest songwriting. Also featuring Edward Villanueva (drums, percussion), David Fralin (keys, mandolin), Jimmy Hartman (bass, harmony vocals), Kris Farrow (electric guitar, harmony vocals), Adam Hill (fiddle), and Cale Richardson (guitar), Josh Abbott Band first formed at Texas Tech University back in the mid-2000s, when Abbott and banjo player Austin Davis got their start playing open-mic nights on campus.
In 2008, Josh Abbott Band released their debut album Scapegoat and offered a triumphant introduction to the distinct mix of elements that makes their music so commanding. Their 2010 sophomore album She’s Like Texas debuted at #28 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
After winning four prizes at the inaugural Texas Regional Radio Music Awards, the band went on to release Small Town Family Dream, then returned several years later with the widely praised and intensely personal Front Row Seat. From there, the band persisted on their upward trajectory with 2017’s Until My Voice Goes Out and 2020’s The Highway Kind.
The most recent album from Josh Abbott Band, 2024’s Somewhere Down The Road once again reveals their refusal to retread familiar ground. Josh Abbott Band continue to make great strides in cementing their legacy as Texas country legends.
