BISMARCK – The Stockmen’s Ball, hosted by the North Dakota Stockmen’s Foundation to support beef-related scholarship, leadership, research, promotion and building objectives, will be held Saturday, Dec. 6, beginning at 5 p.m., in the Bismarck Hotel and Conference Center in Bismarck.

The event, open to anyone interested, includes supper, live and silent auctions, and live music by Tris Munsick and the Innocents, one of the region’s top country acts.

“Since its beginning in 2008, the Stockmen’s Foundation has provided scores of collegiate scholarships and nearly $2 million in disaster relief to producers devastated by floods, blizzards, wildfire and drought; helped develop curriculum to assist families with the generational transfer of their operations; established a beef research fund; and more,” NDSF President Jason Leiseth, an Arnegard cattleman, said. “The Stockmen’s Ball is a great way for people to support these types of projects and to have a great time at the same time.”

Among the NDSF’s most recent efforts was its Out of the Ashes Wildfire Disaster Relief Project, which provided $1 million to disaster victims significantly impacted in the devastating wildfires in October 2024.

Only advanced tickets (per person or per table) will be sold and are available by contacting NDSF at 223-2522.
