"Because of the scholarships that were so generously provided by the Foundation Directors and the many supporters of the Texas Rangers, all three of my children attended college and graduated debt free."
-Capt. Barry Caver, Ret.
Each full-time student receives $2,000 per semester and is required to make a 2.0 grade point each semester to continue the scholarship.
Since 1989, the Foundation has awarded Over $2.5 million in scholarships to active duty Texas Rangers' children.
The Retired Ranger Reunion is one of the highlights of our year! Hosted by the Texas Ranger Association Foundation each year in June in Waco, Texas, we come together along with the active Texas Rangers and foundation benefactors to pay tribute to all retired Texas Rangers and their families. The weekend-long agenda is filled with food, entertainment, and fellowship!
To kick off the weekend, the “Bill Wilson Annual Golf Tournament” is held in honor of the late Senior Texas Ranger Captain William “Bill” Wilson. The tournament’s proceeds are used solely for the scholarship program. A number of celebrities are on hand to play golf with retired and active Texas Rangers charter patrons, benefactors and supporters from around the country.
After a morning of golf, the annual fish fry dinner takes place on Friday evening - it’s a celebration of service and a salute to all the contributions the Rangers and their families have made to this great state!
Saturday is filled with activities, beginning with a memorial service for retired Texas Rangers who passed away during the previous year, and is followed by the Retired Ranger Award luncheon, and TRAF's annual Board of Directors meeting. Activities continue throughout the day, including activities for spouses on Saturday afternoon.
The main event is Saturday evening, and includes a banquet and silent auction. Former and current Texas Rangers donate authentic Texas Ranger memorabilia for the silent auction, with all proceeds benefiting the scholarship program.
This family event is attended by entertainers, sports celebrities, active and retired Texas Rangers, charter patrons, benefactors and their guests.
The Texas Ranger Association Foundation is committed to providing individual financial assistance and support to Texas Rangers and their families in a time of need.
Over the last 5 years TRAF has given more than $500,000 in Ranger Relief.
The foundation receives funding requests for times of tragedy relating to unexpected funeral expenses and ancillary costs. We’ve also assisted with health expenses and related costs such as travel and lodging, equipment, and rehabilitation services not covered by other entities.
Eligibility is limited to active and retired Texas Rangers and their families.
