TYLER — Another big year for the Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala. “We are proud to announce that the 2011 Cattle Barons’ Gala netted $552,683 for the American Cancer Society,” said Ginger Haberle, Gala Co-Chair. “Co-chairing Cattle Barons has been an experience of a lifetime. Thanks to everyone who supported this event and made this donation possible. So many lives will be impacted by the generosity of all of you.”
