I was hesitant at first, as I wanted to make sure the Team members who would take the families truly understood what I wanted to accomplish by adding this Program to DO3. I wanted them to have the same enthusiasm as I did. I wanted them to give the family a fun evening, filled with gifts and rodeo fun, and a chance to let their minds be free of the worries they have.
I knew I wanted to give these families these nights out without worry, because it was what my step father and mother needed during those months that he was fighting cancer. I got a gift for them of dinner and a Broadway show for Christmas. I was able to see how it lifted their spirits and refreshed them just to have an evening out, thinking nothing about their troubles, but simply enjoying dinner and a show. THIS is why I started the Rodeo Kids Program, but instead to entertain the family with my favorite show, RODEO!
When Carlie Hayes, a Texas Team member joined, she would always tell me how she would love to someday take a child to a rodeo like I had done through our Rodeo Kids Program. I decided to acquire State Captains for each State, therefore allowing me to work closely with each Team member who took the role so I would know that they had compassion and enthusiasm for DO3. Each State Captain is allowed to take a Rodeo Kid if they desire and Carlie quickly accepted. We worked with the Ronald McDonald House of Ft. Worth and they found the McAllisters.
