Silver Spur Rodeo donates check to Bridget’s Gift

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Silver Spur Rodeo Board held its annual meeting Saturday night and took the opportunity to give back to the local community.

As part of the evening’s program, the board presented a donation through its "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" initiative, which supports breast cancer awareness and helps fund Bridget’s Gift, a local cancer support center.

The dinner and donation presentations were held at the Rodeo Clubhouse in Yuma.

“We all get together, have an amazing dinner, and present our donations and special recognitions every year,” said Tina McCash, Life Member Chairwoman of the board. “This is a big event for us—besides our horseman's banquet—and it’s really special to have all our members involved, from our 10-month-old members all the way up to those of us who’ve been here for 30 years.”

Wendy McKay with Bridget’s Gift thanked the board and community for their continued support.

“All of your hard work is going right back to the community,” McKay said. “One hundred percent of what we raise stays here in Yuma. Your support helps our local warriors who are battling this horrible disease, and we are so grateful. Thank you so much.”

Organizers say it’s the community’s ongoing support that makes events and donations like this possible.
