2024 achievements - we had another great year where we increased our rodeo attendance, and we were able to bring more awareness to our organization and our mission. We were able to talk to countless people about suicide prevention and mental health, while celebrating our western heritage. Furthermore, we were able to donate 5,634 to speak up reach out, a non- profit that assists us in raising awareness about mental health and suicide prevention during our rodeo series.
