OPENING DOORS
Help Texas TicKids raise $30,000 to open 1,000 more doors for North Texas youth and families.
A first game.A first concert.
A first live performance.
A first experience that makes the world feel a little bigger.
Right now, the first $5,000 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar.
One Open Door Can Change What a Young Person Sees is Possible
At a recent Texas Rangers game, a teenager attending his first major professional game looked out at the field and said:
“Seeing them be great makes me believe I can be great too.”
For him, it was more than a night at the ballpark -- it was a chance to walk into a place he had never experienced before, see excellence up close, and imagine something bigger for himself.
That is what Texas TicKids means by opening doors.
Who We Are
Texas TicKids connects underserved youth and families across North Texas with live sports, arts and cultural experiences through a network of vetted nonprofit partners.
What We Do
North Texas is filled with extraordinary live experiences. But access to them is not equal. We help open those doors — creating pathways of opportunity through experiences many youth would otherwise never have.
Why It Matters
In just two years, Texas TicKids has already created 3,500+ experiences for North Texas youth and families.
Today:
These experiences are about much more than entertainment. They create joy, build belonging and confidence and expand horizons.
Help Us Open 1,000 More Doors
Our North Texas Giving Day goal is $30,000 to open 1,000 more doors for youth and families across North Texas.
Your gift supports the program infrastructure that makes these experiences possible: sourcing opportunities, coordinating with event partners and nonprofit partners, managing distribution and attendance, and measuring impact.
And right now, your gift can go twice as far -- our Board of Directors is opening North Texas Giving Day with a $5,000 match.
Help a young person walk into a stadium, theater, concert hall, museum, or cultural experience — and discover what might be waiting on the other side.
Help Texas TicKids open the next door.
Texas TicKids’ mission is to change lives of underserved children and families through access to live events that expand minds, create joy and inspire dreams.
Access shouldn’t depend on income. Yet for many families, the cost, logistics, and exclusivity of live events create invisible barriers. Texas TicKids was founded to change that.
We believe every child deserves a seat—regardless of zip code, background, or circumstance. By partnering with nonprofits across DFW, we ensure that joy, inspiration, and belonging aren’t privileges for the few, but possibilities for all. Equity is the reason we exist—and the outcome we work toward every day.
