2006 Reno
Rodeo Denim Drive
 |
Initiated by
the Reno Rodeo Foundation and the Reno Rodeo Association
in 2006, the Reno Rodeo
Denim Drive was a three-week drive to collect denim clothing and
new cotton socks and underwear to benefit abused and neglected
infants, children and teens who have been placed in protective
custody and foster care in Washoe County. |

Dozens of local businesses and individuals supported this
program and we
collected 1,017 pairs of jeans, 387 packages of underwear
(approx. 2,322 pairs), 629 packages of socks (approx. 3,774
pairs), 14 denim jackets, 45 T-Shirts, and 73 outfits (most of
which were for toddlers and infants) as well as nearly $7,000,
100% of which was used to purchase additional clothing.
The
drive culminated on December 16, 2006, when the Rodeo chuck
wagon made its way up the ole "Virginia-Kietzke" trail circling
the wagons at several locations: Solari and Sturmer, LLC (Home
of the Reno Rodeo Foundation), Atlantis Casino Spa Hotel, Bill
Pearce Motors BMW Porsche Volvo, and Bill Pearce Courtesy Honda.
Residents of northern Nevada were kept appraised of the travels
of the chuck wagon thanks to CUB Country 94.5 and ALICE 96.5!
The
