Mission Statement
Our mission is to invest in future generations while keeping in mind the western heritage of Southern Arizona and promoting youth and community development through livestock and equestrian education, innovation, entertainment and competition.
During the month of June every $20.00 donation will get your name into the drawing for a pair of Durango boots from Tucson Cowtown Boots as pictured. Tucson Cowtown Boots will be happy to exchange for size or color in an equal or lesser value, with no cash value, from the Durango or Cowtown Brand. Following your donation, you may earn an additional entry for the drawing by visiting the Tucson Rodeo Foundation Facebook page after you donate, liking the relevant post, and sharing it on your own page. Please note that you will need to make your shared post “public” so that we can see that you shared it.
The drawing date is July 1st and we will contact you immediately through your email or phone number, whichever was provided with your donation so that you may pick up the boots at the Tucson Rodeo Office.
Please be sure to read the rules and requirements for our drawing located on our donation page.
The Tucson Rodeo Foundation aids the youth of Southern Arizona through building community partnerships to create scholarships, grants, loan programs, assisting in youth livestock auctions, and junior rodeos. TRF is also working to establish endowments and scholarships to aid youth in their continuing educational pursuits in agriculture and veterinary medicine. Currently TRF is working with the Pima County 4-H and their rabbit program and will be working with the local chapters of the FFA. TRF was a buyer at the 2024 Pima County Fair including buying the Grand Champion Lamb.
