SPOTLIGHT ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH PARTNERS
Orange County Special Angels Rodeo: Started in 2014, the last rodeo was held in 2019, and hosted nearly 350 participants, more than 500 volunteers, and countless family members, caretakers, and spectators. The event is open to all special needs individuals regardless of age, disability, county/parish of residency, race, religious background, or socioeconomic level. More than 2,500 servings of food were handed out, free of charge, to those on site. Dozens of games and activities were available for our participants to enjoy. This year’s rodeo will take place Saturday, November 11th.
Volunteers are needed the day of the event, for setup during the days leading up to the event, or for fundraisers and other activities throughout the year. Contact Volunteer Coordinator-Evita Kimmer at [email protected].
