Poway Rodeo Fans Make a Difference

The Poway Rodeo isn’t just about great rodeo action; it’s about an incredible community that comes together to make a lasting impact.

Each year, our fans generously support our Fund-A-Bike campaign by donating at beverage stations throughout the rodeo. Those donations help provide custom adaptive bikes for children with disabilities – bikes that many families simply cannot afford on their own.

What began with one bike has grown into something truly remarkable. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our rodeo fans and our partnership with Sam’s Posse, the Poway Rodeo community has now funded six adaptive bikes, giving six incredible children the opportunity to ride alongside their friends and families and experience the freedom and joy every child deserves.

Every dollar donated stays in our local community and directly changes a child’s life. Together, we’re helping create a more inclusive place where children of all abilities can play, ride, and belong.

We are deeply grateful to every fan who has dropped a few dollars into a tip jar, made an extra donation, or helped spread the word. Your generosity is changing lives one bike at a time.

Zoey Magallanes Anthem of Hope

We are so excited to welcome back Zoey to the Poway Rodeo stage! Last year, she moved us all with her powerful performance of the National Anthem. Soon after, her cancer returned—but today, we are thrilled to share that Zoey is cancer-free!

This Saturday, she’ll once again sing the Anthem to open our Day Performance, joined by kids from the Ronald McDonald House in a moment you won’t want to miss.

Zoey’s family has faced incredible challenges—her mom has been by her side in the hospital since April and has now launched a small business to help support their journey. You can join us in lifting them up by purchasing a shirt and showing your support.

Together, let’s celebrate Zoey’s courage, her music, and the strength of community.
