Fort Worth Roundup | April 9, 2020 | POSTPONED & RESCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 19, 2020
Coming off its most successful year to date, the Fort Worth Roundup event is looking to top last year's success.

The title sponsor for this year's Fort Worth Roundup is Double Eagle Development, a successful oil and gas company run by Rawls College alumni, Cody Campbell and John Sellers.
"Since the event began seven years ago, Cody, John and Double Eagle Development have generously served as the title sponsor," said Ryan Todd, senior director of development at Rawls College. "Double Eagle Development, loyal alumni in Fort Worth and strong corporate sponsors have been key in growing this event each year."
