Denim Drive • November 13 – December 31, 2023

One Small Gift. One Big Impact.

Denim Drive

The Reno Rodeo Denim Drive provides comfort with new clothing, new teddy bears, new books, and new rolling backpacks to abused, neglected, and abandoned children who have experienced the unimaginable in 14 Northern Nevada counties. We are excited to share the Reno Rodeo Foundation has expanded the Denim Drive benefits to include new clothing for employment interviews and educational scholarships to support foster youth education.

Your support means everything to these kids that have experienced the unimaginable. It sends a message to them that someone truly cares!

All clothing items collected in a particular county stay in that county. 100% of all clothing and financial donations help the kids.

Since 2006, the Reno Rodeo Foundation provided comfort to over 175,000 infants, children, and teens with essentials of new clothing, rolling backpacks, new Reading Room books, hygiene items, and teddy bears.

100% of your donation brings comfort to kids.

New clothes are supplied 24 hours a day. The Denim Drive is now more than clothing. New books are given to children attending family courts throughout Northern Nevada. Donations provide comfort to a child that has experienced the unimaginable. It’s a gift that shows the children someone cares.

100% of every penny raised from “Donate a Dollar for Denim” is used to provide direct support and comfort to children by providing new clothing, books, and other items when children are facing critical situations as well as new clothing for employment interviews and educational scholarships to aging out foster youth as they transition to independent lives.

Denim Drive Bears & Badges

When you donate to the Denim Drive you help provide new teddy bears for children in all 14 Northern Nevada counties. The Reno Rodeo Foundation has formally partnered with law enforcement agencies who have these new teddy bears in their vehicles.

The officers provide comfort to these children with these new teddy bears which helps to build trust as they work with our partners at Washoe County Human Services Agency and the State of NV Division of Child & Family Services to assist them with their immediate needs and long-term well-being. We’re all working together to help children who have experienced the unimaginable.
