On Thursday, the National Ranching Heritage Center announced a $3.5 million gift and its intent to create the Cash Family Ranch Life Learning Center.

This represents the largest single gift to the NRHC in its history, according to a news release from Texas Tech.

The Cash Foundation is among 21 supporters of the project thus far – a group that also includes the Helen Jones Foundation Inc., The CH Foundation and others.

The proposed Cash Family Ranch Life Learning Center, an indoor/outdoor educational center to be built at the NRHC, includes interactive exhibits on animal and plant agriculture, range management, the role of cowboys and more alongside an immersive version of the ranch from the “Hank the Cowdog” book series. The center seeks to teach the public about what is involved with ranching and how it contributes to the care of livestock and land.
