OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple: Bring rodeo and the spirit of western heritage back to Gilroy while enriching our community both culturally and financially. Our supporters may work year-round devoting their time, goods, services and money to the event.
One the best events at the Gilroy Rodeo actually takes place in the stands! In 2018, we founded our "Gilroy Kick'n Cancer" initiative. Volunteers and visiting rodeo queens walk the stands collecting donations in an old cowboy boot which allows us to donate thousands of dollars to local organizations fighting pediatric cancer in our area.
Whenever possible, the Gilroy Rodeo outsources tasks like trash clean up, ticket taking, and parking detail to local organizations. We also give first priority to other non profits who would like to sell food and drink at our event.
Gilroy Rodeo is proud to be a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) entity, with no paid employees. With sold out crowds every year since 2021, we are so grateful for the progress we’ve made in a short time!
