FAQ

What is CBB?

The Cattle Baron’s Ball is the American Cancer Society’s signature western themed event with more than 50 Cattle Baron events nationwide. SW Florida’s Cattle Baron’s Ball is celebrating 21 years in Lee County. With your support, the American Cancer Society will help end cancer, as we know it, for everyone.

What should I wear?

This is a “Cowboy Chic” affair! Step into the magic of a Montana twilight, where the sky deepens into velvety indigo and stars shimmer above rust-colored ridges and pine-covered hills. Guests are invited to dress in Western-inspired elegance that echoes the natural palette of the Big Sky Country.

Think midnight blues, burnished rust, sage greens, and plum purples—earthy tones kissed by starlight. These colors evoke the shifting hues of the western horizon as day fades into night. Add celestial touches—star motifs, constellation-inspired accessories, or metallic threads—to honor the theme’s cosmic side. Whether you lean classic cowboy or modern Western chic, let your outfit tell a story of starlit adventure and frontier charm.

For the ladies, boots and dresses abound and gentlemen often opt for boots, jeans, and pearl snap shirts.  Part of our cocktail hour is outside but the majority of the event takes place indoors.
