The 14th Annual Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit returns Thursday, May 14, 2026, celebrating the 75th birthday of Texas Rangers Hall of Fame broadcaster Eric Nadel with an electrifying night of music, community and philanthropy at the historic Longhorn Ballroom.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., followed by performances from Chuck Prophet and His Cumbia Shoes at 7:30 p.m. and Sammy Rae & The Friends at 9:20 p.m. The annual concert also features live and silent auctions, offering exclusive items such as autographed sports memorabilia and unique dining experiences at beloved Dallas restaurants.
Presented by Haynes Boone with media sponsor KXT 91.7, the birthday benefit supports Grant Halliburton Foundation, a Dallas nonprofit celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026. The organization provides vital mental health education, resources and suicide prevention programs for children, teens and families across North Texas.
The silent auction opens online May 7, allowing supporters to participate even if they cannot attend the concert. Tickets range from $20–$70, and sponsorships with premium seating are available. Learn more at: https://www.granthalliburton.org/ericnadel
