Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of each dream?
Ropin’ Dreams can present children with their dreams due to the support from generous companies here in South Texas, which always step up and assist in providing the Dreams. For example, prior to the rodeo, each child goes on a shopping spree and is outfitted from head to toe in cowboy gear. So that each child may go in style to the rodeo, Elegant Transportation provides limo service to the venue. A dream that would cost several thousand dollars is realized for much less because of the support of our sponsors.
How does Ropin’ Dreams raise money for its program?
Over the past 20 years, we have held one fundraiser a year, from golf tournaments to ranch rodeos, to PRCA Rodeo and in 2021 we held a very successful PRCA Extreme Bulls in Pleasanton, TX. Due to Covid restrictions, we are pivoting our entire program and as such we are looking to supplement our “Dream program” with corporate sponsorships, as well as support from many long time “Friends of Ropin’ Dreams
What percentage of the contributions is spent on administrative costs?
