Where do the proceeds go?

Sealybration is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Sealy Community Foundation, a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization estab-lished in 2009. Our projects include college scholarships, creating volunteer opportunities for local youth and other non-profit groups, as well as donating to and supporting area non-profit groups and community improvement efforts.

Community Impact is Our Top Priority

The Sealy Community Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of educational opportunities and non-profit charities.

The 5 Alarm 5K & 1K Rookie Run Benefiting the Sealy Fire Department

A spin-off of the Jingle Bell Fun Run (held in December), it adds to Sealy’s reputation as a go-to racing destination. In total, the annual run has contributed more than $31,000 to Sealy’s hometown heroes.

The Barbeque Cook-off

A Sealybration tradition, our barbeque cook-off has a longstanding history of excellence. It’s a party like no other, with delicious food, top-notch judging … and a really, really good time for all. In 2018, we became IBCA-Sanctioned, adding more teams and even bigger cash prizes. Then, in 2019, the sanctioned cookoff had more than 50 teams, qualifying the winner for Annual Jack Dan-iel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue in historic Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Friday’s Noche de Fiesta

In 2018 we held our first Noche de Fiesta featuring Regional Mexican music, and we received rave reviews. (Regional Mexican is the most popular Latin music genre in the country and includes banda and norteño.) With a diverse demographic making up Austin County, including music that represented all of our community just made sense. Sealybration plans an even bigger event for 2021!

The VIP Experience (Friday & Saturday)

Sometimes guests want rock star treatment … access to the best seats in the house, meet and greets with the musical artists, the best parking and a VIP tent with complimentary food and discounted drinks. So we deliver. Sealybration’s very popular VIP Experience allows special guests, sponsors and business owners an extraordinary evening of networking, access to the music artists, plenty of VIP perks and a whole lot of Sealybration fun!

Sealybration’s Live Music Tradition

Each year Sealybration brings in some of the best musical performers. Past entertainers on the main stage include: Steve Wariner, Cody Johnson, Gary P Nunn, Asleep at the Wheel, Max Stallings, Shiny Ribs, and Jamie Lin Wilson … just to name a few.
