Texas Country Music Stars will Shine at the Ruben Martinez Family Fund Benefit

Fort Worth Stockyards (July 28, 2010)

 

Texas Music artists and local and national companies have joined together to produce a benefit for a Ben E. Keith Beverage delivery driver and his family.


In June, Ruben Martinez was shot in the neck as he and his partner delivered beer to a local North Fort Worth convenience store. Due to the injuries he sustained as a result of the shooting, Ruben passed away on July 12 after a courageous fight for his life. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and son Diego. Adding to this tragedy, Lisa is eight months pregnant.


On Sunday, August 8th at 6:00pm, a benefit concert and auction will be held at Billy Bob's Texas. The evening will include performances by music artists Larry Joe Taylor, The Tejas Brothers, Mark McKinney, Austin Allsup, Phil Pritchett, Max Stalling, Owen Temple and more! Many other entertainer names cannot be mentioned due to contractual agreements with other local venues. We will announce these “Surprise Guests” as time allows.


There will be a live and silent auction throughout the evening to sell the extensive list of items up for bid, and any amount of contribution is appreciated. Auction items currently secured include: tickets to Superbowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium, vacation packages, Championship Bull Riding Event VIP Package, gift cards to local restaurants, concert packages, VIP Packages to the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, Private Home Party from famous local chef Keith Hicks, Celebrity Golf Foursomes at Colonial Country Club and Vaquero Club…and more!


All funds will directly benefit Ruben Martinez’s family and will help support them during this very difficult time.


Tickets are $20, and are on sale now at Billy Bob¹s Box Office (817-624-7117) or ticketmaster.com.
