The 2026 La Due Ladies Lunch Foundation Raffle is officially LIVE! ✨🤠

The La Due Ladies Lunch is a not-for-profit society of women who, like Flores LaDue, embody the true Cowgirl Spirit — tenacity, innovation, imagination, and a rancher’s work ethic.

Each year, on the day before the Calgary Stampede, the La Due Ladies gather for lunch to celebrate the legendary cowgirls who helped shape the Western way of life. What began as a gathering of friends has grown into a sold-out charitable event dedicated to supporting the next generation of Western women.

Through the funds raised, the La Due Ladies Lunch Foundation proudly supports scholarships for young women across Alberta — helping those who live life with Cowgirl Spirit and Cowgirl Tough determination pursue their academic dreams at both the high school and post-secondary level.

🎟 Now is your chance to support this mission and enter to win our 2026 raffle!

When you purchase a ticket, you are not only entering to win — you are helping empower the next generation of women in our Western community.

On this International Women’s Day, we want to take a moment to recognize the women at the heart of our movement here at the LaDue Ladies Luncheon!

Our inspiration begins with the legendary cowgirl Florence LaDue — a trailblazer whose strength, determination, and western spirit helped shape the legacy of cowgirls everywhere. Her grit and passion for the western way of life continue to inspire generations of young women to ride boldly toward their dreams!

In the true spirit of this remarkable cowgirl, the LaDue Ladies Luncheon celebrates that same tenacity and lifestyle in the young women of our western community.

As the deadline for our scholarship quickly approaches, we are proud to give back and support the next generation of cowgirls pursuing their education and carving their own paths.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who paved the trail before us — and the trailblazers who will carry the western legacy forward!
