Since its inception, Cotton Fest has made it its mission to help raise money for the High Cotton Relief Fund. This organization was established to assist the West Texas Cotton Community and anyone that has fallen on hard times.
A true passion for William, the organization was started in 2018 and is comprised of 10 local area professionals within the cotton & Farming industry and has raised more than $2.25mm and counting.
Texas accounts for than 40% of the Cotton produced in the US annually, with the majority of that being produced in West Texas. The High Cotton Relief Fund helps local farmers and families in need for things such as stripping, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and other things that impact the family farmer each-and-every day.
