2008 Denim Drive Overview | Donate Clothing or Cash | Denim Procession

The Reno Rodeo Denim Drive is an annual community event to collect new denim clothing and cotton underwear and socks for abused and neglected infants, children and teens who have been placed in protective custody and foster care. 

The 2008 Reno Rodeo Denim Drive runs November 24 - December 19, culminating with the "Denim Procession" on Saturday, December 20th.

Our goal this year is to collect enough clothing to provide at least one "school day" outfit for every child in protective custody and foster care ~  that's a minimum of 1,200 pairs of jeans, 1,200 pairs of socks and underwear and 1,200 tops.   Clothing collected during our annual drive is provided to children and teens throughout the year.  This is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving!

When money gets tight and day-to-day life becomes more stressful, there is a significant upswing in child abuse and neglect. This means the Reno Rodeo Denim Drive needs your contributions now more than ever. Thank you for reaching out to the children in our community who have faced circumstances most of us cannot even image.    

How do I Participate?

Collection Location Sponsorship

The Reno Rodeo Foundation is currently seeking to partner with 50 local businesses who would like to serve as collections points for the 2008 Denim Drive.  

We know times are tough this year, especially for small businesses, so we're changing our collection location commitments this year.  In past years, we've collected a promotion fee to help us cover the cost of advertising on the radio and in the Reno Gazette-Journal.

This year, we're giving our Collection Locations business owners a choice.  You can either pay $100 toward advertising or you can work with us to develop a "Piggy-Back" advertising campaign where you would promote your business and its connection with the Denim Drive, using advertising and marketing you already have in place.

We are also encouraging all of our collection locations to consider: 

  • Offering incentives to your customers if they make a purchase at your business which will support the Denim Drive.  (i.e. designate a portion of your profits, offer a %-off if they bring in a denim item or a package of socks/underwear, etc.)

  • Participate in a collection challenge with other local businesses.

  • Conducting an "internal drive" with all of your employees.

Our goal this year is to collect enough clothing to provide at least one "school day" outfit for every child in protective custody and foster care ~  that's a minimum of 1,200 pairs of jeans, 1,200 pairs of socks and underwear and 1,200 tops.   Clothing collected during our annual drive is provided to children and teens throughout the year.  This is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving!

Be a “Stop” Location for the Reno Rodeo Chuck Wagon on Saturday, December 20

If your business is along the procession route, please consider being a “Stop” location for our Denim Procession on Saturday, December 20, 2008

For a promotion fee of just $250, we will highlight your business as a collection point and as a stop location as part of our radio and print campaign. Then, on Saturday, December 20, we will visit your business with our mule-drawn chuck wagon as it makes it way along the ole’ Virginia – Kietzke trail to collect your donations. The procession ends at the Kid’s Kottage where we present each child with jeans, a special gift and a cookie party!
