🎗 RODEO FOR A CAUSE — MAY 2ND! 🤠
We’re proud to announce that the Grand Canyon Regional Finale Rodeo is partnered with the Cowboys for Cancer Research with the help of our 2025 bullfighter Ethan Johnson.
In 1981, Alma Cohorn, wife of roper Kenneth Cohorn,
passed away to cancer. To honor her memory, Rawley
Jackson, a close family friend and member of the US West
Pioneers Sunshine Club (now QWEST) held a team
roping in her memory. When the dust had settled and the
money was counted by the light of one pickup truck onto
the hood of another, $750 was raised for the day. Their
goal was to raise money for research against this insidious
disease that took the life of a good friend.
Now, 42 years later, Cowboys for Cancer Research has
been dedicated to raise money for immediate use in the
field of Cancer Research. Events like Team Ropings,
Dinner-Dances, Golf Tournaments, and Silent Auctions,
along with the generous donations from people like you,
have helped to develop new research studies and create
new faculty positions that benefit patients directly through
investments made by C4CR.
Join us May 2nd as we ride not just for titles, but for hope, healing, and the fight against cancer.
💜💙 In honor of those affected, we encourage everyone to wear purple or turquoise to show your support!
Let’s pack the stands with color and compassion as we wrap up this amazing rodeo season with purpose and pride.
