We received approximately 175 new books from the Washoe County School District Police Department in support of the Foundation’s Reading Rooms Program, helping provide comfort, encouragement and access to literacy resources for children navigating difficult court-related experiences.

The books will support the Reno Rodeo Foundation Reading Room located within the Second Judicial District Court, where children visiting the courthouse can read books during their time there and take them home afterward.

The donation also supports broader literacy efforts in Nevada, where reading proficiency rates continue to be a challenge. Access to books and positive reading experiences can play a critical role in helping children build confidence, emotional connection and long-term academic success.

Thank you so much for the generous donation!

The Denim Drive is one of the Reno Rodeo Foundation’s longest-standing programs, providing brand-new clothing, shoes, and essential items to children entering foster care across Northern Nevada.

Through the support of our community, the program helps ensure that children have access to the items they need during a time of transition — offering not just essentials, but a dignity, comfort, and a sense of care.

Meet Sadie the Sheep! 🤍✨🐑 📚

Soft-spoken, gentle, and endlessly comforting, Sadie the Sheep is the emotional heart of the Reno Rodeo Foundation crew.

Sadie grew up learning to notice the little things... trembling hands, quiet tears, and the moments when a child simply needs someone nearby. One day, while visiting a courthouse, she spotted a young child sitting alone in a cold, overwhelming waiting room. Sadie softly brushed her wool against the child’s hand, and for the first time that day… the child smiled.

That moment changed everything.

Now, Sadie proudly supports the Reno Rodeo Foundation Reading Rooms — warm, welcoming spaces where children can read, rest, and simply be kids during difficult moments. She has a special way of making every room feel safer and cozy.

Whether she’s helping a shy child find the perfect book or offering quiet reassurance without saying a word, Sadie reminds us that kindness doesn’t have to be loud to make a powerful impact.

The Reno Rodeo Foundation Spring Denim Drive is officially underway! 💙👖

Since 2016, the Denim Drive program has helped support 4,258 children entering foster care across 14 Northern Nevada counties, providing more than $1.28 million in clothing, essentials, and care to local youth in need.

This spring, our community is coming together once again to make a difference. You can support the Spring Denim Drive by:
✔️ Making a monetary donation
✔️ Donating new clothing and essential items
✔️ Becoming a community partner or drop-off location

Together, we can help children entering foster care feel supported, confident, and cared for from day one.

Thank you to everyone joining us for this year’s kickoff event! 🤠✨

Meet Billy the Bull. 🤠💙🐂✨

Billy may be the strongest member of the Reno Rodeo Foundation Denim Drive crew, but his greatest strength isn’t his size...it’s his heart.

As the friendly force behind the Denim Drive, Billy helps move heavy barrels, lend a helping hoof, and remind everyone that true strength comes from kindness. After witnessing a volunteer place a warm coat around a child during a Denim Drive Distribution, Billy learned that sometimes the quietest acts can make the biggest impact.

You can help Billy make a difference by donating to the Reno Rodeo Foundation Spring Denim Drive now. Every donation helps provide warmth, confidence, and care to local children and families in need. https://bit.ly/4nfTlAQ

Whether you’re registering a new truck, car or trailer or renewing your current registration – ask for a Rodeo License Plate!

The Rodeo State Charitable License Plate provides a significant source of funding for the Reno Rodeo Foundation and the Nevada State High School Rodeo Association (NSHSRA), as the charitable proceeds from this license plate are shared equally between these two organizations. The Rodeo State license plate is one of the most popular charitable plates in Nevada and we hope you’ll choose to proudly display it on all of your vehicles and trailers!

While the Reno Rodeo may last just ten days, the spirit of service continues all year long thanks to the Reno Rodeo Association’s Team 355, a dedicated group of volunteers who spend the other 355 days supporting our mission.

Behind every successful event — and every child or family we serve — is this group of volunteers making it all possible.

From assisting with signature fundraisers like Rhythm & Rawhide, Bingo Brunch, Texas Hold ’Em Tournament, and Biggest Little Shootout, to showing up at community events that benefit the Foundation, Team 355 members are always ready to lend a hand. They set up venues, greet guests, distribute materials, and bring the friendly, can-do spirit that helps every Foundation event shine.

Their dedication extends far beyond event days. Throughout the year, Team 355 volunteers also assist with the Foundation’s day-to-day operations, stepping in whenever extra help is needed to. keep programs running smoothly. Whether organizing supplies, delivering materials, or preparing for special projects, their efforts make an invaluable difference.

The amazing people who make up Team 355 embody the compassion, energy, and commitment that define the Reno Rodeo Foundation.
