Beyond the entertainment, the event supports a meaningful cause. Funds raised during the Celebrity Cutting benefit the expansion of UT Southwestern’s Moncrief Cancer Institute, helping improve access to cancer care for families in the Fort Worth area.
“This event is a powerful way to combine the excitement of cutting with a mission that impacts so many families,” said NCHA Executive Director Jay Winborn. “We’re proud to continue growing the Celebrity Cutting and supporting UT Southwestern and their important work in cancer care and research.”
