What a year! We wish everyone the best as we navigate through these challenging times in defining the new normal. In response to many of the adjustments put into place to keep everyone safe, it was clear the Reno Rodeo Foundation should continue to support our programs while helping children with extraordinary needs that we serve throughout 14 Northern Nevada counties.
In fact, we’ve received feedback that our program offerings have meant more to so many children than ever before. Being nimble helped us to institute the means to offer a seamless approach in our program support which is a testament to our board’s leadership, our amazing volunteers, and our generous community.

Denim Drive Kids Continue to be Safely Served
Despite the restrictions put into place impacting many businesses, organizations and events, the need to keep children safe never stops. As the only nonprofit that provides new clothes, teddy bears, rolling backpacks, and hygiene items, to children being rescued from unsafe homes in 14 Northern Nevada counties, we know these children must continue to be served. Working directly with the Washoe County Human Services Agency and the State of Nevada Division of Child & Family Services (DCFS), we implemented a process to purchase new items and have them delivered directly to the foster homes.
Beginning in 2021, a new method will allow social workers in rural Nevada to make purchases in order meet the immediate needs of the Denim Drive children. This laser-focused approach is a precise process to utilize the Denim Drive monetary donations in the best interest of the child through professionally trained DCFS staff because every circumstance is different.
These same Denim Drive children must attend family court proceedings, of no fault of their own. When they attend Northern Nevada Family District Courts the Denim Drive children are gifted new books they get to take home and new teddy bears to love. These new books are purchased by the Reno Rodeo Foundation through your Denim Drive donations. The judges have vetted the content of each book and the age appropriateness; the judges have shared the Reading Room program has exceeded their expectations in comforting these emotionally traumatized children. It’s important to note the COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified the need and we are asking for your support!
Ways to Help: 100% of Your Donation Benefits the Denim Drive Kids! What’s collected in your county, stays in your county to support the Denim Drive kids.
