🐎 Boots, buckles, and breakthroughs.

This Stampede, join us for Saddles & Science: From the Chute to the Lab, a conversation exploring what becomes possible when women's health is treated not as a niche issue, but as a priority for innovation, research, and investment.

Bringing together leaders from research, business, sport, and rodeo, we'll examine why women's health has been overlooked for far too long, and what it will take to drive meaningful change.

Because investing in women's health isn't just good for women. It's good for our communities, our workplaces, and our economy.

On National Cancer Survivor Day, we’re highlighting the work of postdoctoral fellow Bárbara Chaves Santos, whose research addresses a critical gap in cancer recovery. ✨

Funded by our Foundation, her work explores how much protein women need after cancer treatment to support recovery, preserve muscle health, and improve long-term quality of life for breast and colorectal cancer survivors.

From patient to women’s health advocate ✨

Meet Theresa Ramsfield, a cardiovascular nurse who found herself navigating a healthcare system that wasn’t designed to answer her questions about her own health and aging. Through her connection with Dr. Norris at a women’s health conference, the Awareness and Understanding of Reproductive Aging (AURA) program was created to give women access to evidence-based care and support.

For too long, women’s health and women’s sport have existed within systems that were not originally designed with them in mind. 🔬

Your support helps accelerate progress in critical areas including pregnancy and postpartum care, Indigenous women’s health equity, and gender bias in medicine and sport science. It’s about time this conversation moved from overlooked to prioritized.
