12th Anniversary Chicks n Chaps - 100th Anniversary Tucson Rodeo
The iconic 100th anniversary of La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo brought an exciting line up of historical speakers honoring Tucson rodeo history, the latest western fashions brought by Tucson Cancer Conquerors survivors, special performances by Saguaro Strutters, inspiring survivor speakers and most importantly raising funds for Arizona Foundation for Cancer. Our survivors enjoyed riding in the 100th Rodeo Parade, featuring 8 foot, eye catching Chicks n Chaps cowgirls donated by SpeedPro to honor our families battling breast cancer. In deep appreciation to our sponsors, partners, guests and the Tucson Rodeo, collectively we donated $30,000!

11th Anniversary - Behind the Chutes Fundraiser
Another year of demos by stock contractor Butler and Sons, rodeo event scoring overview by award winning rodeo announcer Will Rasmussen and famous rodeo clown JJ Harrison. The renowned Fashion Show highlighted latest fashion trends and most importantly the beautiful faces behind every cancer diagnosis. This year we surpassed our fundraising goal donating $30,000 to Arizona Foundation for Cancer. As the cost of treatments and therapies continually increase, we must match our fundraising efforts to offset the extreme financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis.

10th Anniversary - Bulls, Broncs, Barrels and Bling
Bringing all the bling and glam to the special 10th Anniversary event. While celebrating 10 years of service to the community, Tucson Chicks n Chaps had a record breaking fundraising year, donating $25,000 to Arizona Cancer Foundation (formerly Arizona Oncology Foundation)! All proceeds provide direct patient care such as integrative therapies, post-mastectomy's bras, nutritional counseling, and gas cards.
Thank you to our sponsors, partners, and guests that make "Turning Rodeo Pink" possible!
