Our
mission is to provide a premiere benefit rodeo that will support our
commitment to public safety and children through the efforts of the
Sheriff’s Equine Organizations. Through our concerted efforts, we will
provide a memorable experience for the community and its participants. Six years ago Sheriff Gary Penrod re-established the Sheriff’s Rodeo, returning to San Bernardino County a long-standing tradition. Our mission is to provide a premiere benefit rodeo that will support our commitment to public safety and children, through the efforts of the Sheriff’s Equine Organizations. Through our concerted efforts, we will provide a memorable experience for the community and its participants. Young people throughout the Inland Empire are served by two different agencies that instill positive values, encourage career exploration, learn leadership skills and build self-confidence. Funding from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Rodeo supports Girl Scouts and Boys Scouts in the Inland Empire.
Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council will fund programs for "every girl, everywhere", including underserved areas. Programs help girls build character and success in the real world by developing leadership, values, social conscience, and conviction about their own self-worth qualities that last a lifetime.
California Inland Empire Boy Scouts of America will fund the "Learning for Life" Program in San Bernardino County elementary schools to teach core values in young people, and in other ways help them to make ethical choices throughout their lives so they can achieve their full potential. We have now expanded our assistance to the community by providing other youth oriented organizations having an interest in equestrian and agricultural disciplines, the ability to generate additional monies through fundraisers in rodeo ticket sales. We have chosen organizations such as the 4-H Club (other school club activities are also eligible), along with nonprofit clubs such as our local Gymkhana Associations. As we are all aware of the current state budget situation and the occurring cuts, it is imperative to find additional funding sources for organizations receiving state money. By employing this method of ticket sales we are accomplishing two goals: 1. Community awareness and participation in a family oriented wholesome sport and an American tradition. 2. Raising the much-needed money to further education, while providing our youth an environment to build self-worth and self-confidence. FUNDRAISING THROUGH TICKET SALES We have put together a program offering you the ability to raise a substantial amount of money by selling rodeo tickets beginning May 1, 2007, through the opening of the rodeo. The Sheriff’s Annual Rodeo will take place the last weekend in September (September 28th, 29th, and 30th, 2007). We have a great rodeo planned with an exciting pre-rodeo show. You will receive one third of the face value of every ticket sold by your organization. Ticket prices are as follows: Friday $15.00 Saturday $15.00 Sunday $15.00 Tickets will become available for sale June 1, 2007. However, you may wish to start marketing or reserving tickets prior to that date. We will provide you with rodeo posters and literature as they become available. * For further information and to reserve your fundraising package please contact: 909-383-6519 (office)
* Marketing material will be available upon sponsor confirmation, individual event confirmation, and final rodeo committee approval. Please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your fundraising packages. This will enable us to coordinate and prepare for the amount of materials required to support your endeavor.
We look forward to a partnership with you in providing our youth and our communities both an excellent rodeo, and the additional funding to assist you in accomplishing your goals. |
