Local organizations received $90,300.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The money we raised came from everybody,&#8221; said Lisa Johnson of the Lonesome River Ranch. Johnson, along with her husband Jeff, oversaw the conversion of their ranch on the Middle Loup River into a small town for the three-day event June 1-3. &#8220;We really want to thank everybody &#8211; especially those who stepped up and said this was possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson added extra thanks to the co-chairs of the event &#8211; Karen and Jeff Evans, Cindy and Jim Duncan.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Cowan was thrilled with the success of this year&#8217;s ball.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Custer County is out in the Sandhills of West Central Nebraska. It is pretty sparsely populated,&#8221; he said. &#8220;To generate this kind of response, it takes all hands on deck. Over 8 percent of the population of Custer County volunteered at this year&#8217;s event. The generosity of these people is almost beyond belief.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t thank them enough for their incredible donation to our cancer center. But, nothing surprises me with the Cattlemen&#8217;s Ball. Every year, they answer the bell and come through with a major donation. What an event!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 Cattlemen&#8217;s Ball will be June 1-2 at the Hergott Farm near Hebron, Neb.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Majority of the proceeds go to cancer research at the Fred &amp;
