Arabia 2026 Hospital Fundraiser Opportunities
Arabia Shriners are proud to unveil the 2026 Hospital Fundraising Schedule, a dynamic lineup of events dedicated to supporting the life-changing mission of Shriners Children’s. From high-energy concerts and competitive sporting tournaments to legendary Texas cookoffs, the year ahead promises opportunity, fellowship, and meaningful impact.
Each fundraiser plays a vital role in helping provide specialized pediatric care regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Thanks to the dedication of Nobles, Ladies, sponsors, and community
supporters, Arabia continues to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families across Texas and beyond.
A Year Full of Action and Impact
The 2026 schedule kicks off with the Willis Chili Cookoff (April 10–11), where great food and great fellowship combine for a powerful cause. In May, excitement builds with the Kid Rock Concert at Austin County Arena in Bellville (May 2), followed by the
competitive Sportsmen Helice Tournament (May 16).
Late summer turns up the volume with the Skynyrd/Foreigner Concert in The Woodlands (August 27) — a night of legendary
music supporting a legendary mission.
As fall approaches, the action continues with the Sportsmen Seabrook Saltwater Derby (September 26) and the highly anticipated Wild Well Control Golf Tournament (September – Date TBA). The fundraising season wraps up with the beloved Arabian Knights BBQ Cookoff (October 9–10), a true Texas tradition that brings competitors and supporters together for two unforgettable days.
More Than Events — A Mission in Motion
These fundraisers are more than dates on a calendar. They represent Arabia’s unwavering commitment to compassion, service, and community engagement. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured, and every volunteer hour given helps ensure that children receive the specialized medical care they deserve.
There is truly something for everyone in 2026 — whether you enjoy cookoffs, concerts, fishing, golf, shooting sports, or simply supporting a meaningful cause. We invite you to explore each event by clicking the titles above to learn more about registration, sponsorship opportunities, and volunteer involvement.
Together, we are making a difference — one event, one family, and one child at a time.
Arabia Shriners — Serving with Purpose. Giving with Heart.

Shriners Children's
At Shriners Children’s, we are committed to reaching as many children as possible, wherever they may live, and offering them our unique, patient-centered, wrap-around care.
For most of its history, our health care system has been known as Shriners Hospitals for Children. As we adapt to current nationwide trends in health care, especially the emphasis on outpatient care, and some locations become clinics or outpatient centers, we have introduced the phrase “Shriners Children’s.” It is shorter and more definitive – clearly stating who we are and what we care about.
Shriners Children’s is a leader in providing care for orthopedic conditions, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries and other spine disorders, rehabilitation, sports injuries and craniofacial conditions. We also offer specialized services, including orthotics and prosthetics and motion analysis. We strive to provide the care and support our patients need to reach their goals and discover their full potential. In addition, our healthcare system conducts research to improve our patients’ quality of life and offers outstanding educational programs for medical professionals. All care and services are provided regardless of the families' ability to pay or insurance status. Shriners Children’s is a nonprofit organization and relies on the generosity of donors. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. For more information, including the full range of care disciplines, please visit shrinerschildrens.org.
