Art lovers and Camp Fire supporters gather together for the 37th anniversary of An Artists’ Christmas this year starring three-time Super Bowl champion, Pro Football Hall of Famer, author and philanthropist Emmitt Smith. Patrons will socialize, expand their collection of original art, enjoy a seated gourmet dinner and bid on exotic live auction experiences at the elegant Fort Worth Convention Center Ballroom in support of the children of our community.

Camp Fire will continue to honor the tradition of offering original art in the silent auction by our extraordinary North Texas artists’ community, whose contributions have helped raise nearly $5 million for North Texas children and youth.

This year’s event features never-before-offered sponsor experiences! A private VIP Reception with Emmitt Smith complete with photo opportunities, dinner with Emmitt and guests for the Keynote Sponsor, local celebrity table host for the Gala Sponsor, complimentary valet, and a sponsor auction with exclusive packages from Emmitt Smith are just a few of the exciting experiences for sponsors.

At Camp Fire First Texas, we envision a community where every child has equitable access to the quality learning opportunities they need to succeed and thrive in a rapidly changing world. We invite you to share the evening with us by sponsoring Camp Fire An Artists’ Christmas: An Evening with Emmitt Smith.
