Giving Back

Our story began when the Ranch Family made the commitment to sponsor and host an annual Rodeo. The mission: to help preserve this wild tradition, pay tribute to the sport and the heritage of the land, and to raise funds for deserving charities. Each August, thousands would travel to The Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo to experience the excitement of bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, tie down roping, team roping and bull riding at one of the richest two-day rodeos in the nation. The funds raised helped honor the old cowboy tradition of “passing the hat” in support of local non-profits. Over the two decades of rodeos, nearly $3 million was raised in funding for local charities.
