CHALLENGE FOR CHARITIES FUNDRAISER
Support Our Western Heritage & the Lander Pioneer Days Rodeo!
Donations No Longer Accepted
A huge thanks to everyone who contributed to our Challenge for Charities Fundraiser! As a non-profit, it is critical for LOTRA to fundraise so we can continue to support our community's Western heritage year-round. Without the help of sponsors and fundraising initiatives, it would be impossible to maintain our indoor arena that hosts equine events and educational horse-related opportunities for local youth, families and, equestrians.
​​Once we know the results of the C4C fundraiser, we will let everyone know the additional funding we will be receive as a result of this initiative.
