Our Founding 50

Recognizing the heart of our community

You know exactly who they are.

You’ve seen them at countless events and community gatherings. They’re the ones who raise their hands when help is needed. The ones setting up tables, working gates, organizing events, supporting kids, and quietly making things happen behind the scenes. They believe in kids. They believe in Gregory County. And they aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

They don’t do it for recognition. But communities like ours don’t thrive without people like them. Their impact is lasting, and their generosity shapes the future in ways that often go unseen.

The Founding 50 is our way of honoring those people and the legacy they are building in this community.

We are inviting 50 donors to invest $5,000 in the future of our rodeo grounds. Along with other gifts and grant support, these contributions will help bring the first phase of the project to life and ensure this space continues to serve kids, families, and the entire community for generations to come.

Founding 50 members will be recognized on our website, in the local newspaper, and on signage at the rodeo grounds. But more importantly, each Founding 50 member will be honored with a custom-designed sign that reflects their unique legacy and their commitment to this community.

Because this isn’t just about a donation. It’s about the people who believe in this place and want to be part of building its future.

Every great community is built by people who show up. Chances are, when you think about who should be part of the Founding 50, a few names probably come to mind right away. This is our way of saying thank you, and making sure their impact is remembered.

Do you have someone you would like to highlight? We'd love to hear from you! To donate or make a pledge, please contact us.
