Powered by the spirit of the Reno Rodeo and the generosity of our community, the Reno Rodeo Foundation delivers programs that make a real, lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Each of the Foundation’s vital programs fills a specific need within our community. 

• The Denim Drive provides essential clothing and hygiene items to abused and neglected children, giving them comfort and dignity during difficult times. 

• Reading Rooms bring a sense of calm and normalcy to children in family court by offering new books and teddy bears, sparking moments of joy in uncertain circumstances. 

• Rodeo Wish grants personalized, impactful wishes to children battling serious medical conditions, creating memories and moments of hope. 

• Scholarships open the doors of higher education and vocational training, fueling the aspirations of Northern Nevada’s youth and strengthening the community for generations to come.

All of this is possible because of the generous support of donors like you—thank you for riding alongside us to lift up local children and families when they need it most.
