Who we are

The association is a new, member-based, group of true original rodeo fans and rodeo participants on all levels. The intention of the association is to contribute to, and aid rodeo industry benevolent organizations such as, Lane Frost and John Hatley Memorial Scholarship Funds.

The Cowboy Crisis Fund contributes to injured cowboys that are unable to compete due to injury. It helps with utilities and home mortgages and food for their families. The hope is to help with the recovery process so they can return to the competition that we fans love to watch and support.

Please help us by contributing to Wagons West Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund was established to assist children of rodeo families with college expenses in honor of Candace Clark-Richardson (wife of Steve Eichthaler) and Shane Eichthaler. Candace and Shane were tragically killed in a head-on collision on Hwy 380 in Denton Texas on November 25, 2007. Steve is a rodeo cowboy and Candace was also very devoted to the rodeo as the sons also.

Our association board of directors meet twice a year to vote and issue funds. The source of these funds is collected through membership dues, golf tournaments, auctions, sponsorship of live family music festivals and charitable contributions. Because of our diverse fan base and desire for a new approach and attitude in untapped markets, our rodeo cowboys benefit from the way we watch and go to our favorite pastime and sport of real rodeo action and family fun. So email us at American Rodeo Fan Association and become a member.

This is your chance to support the sport of rodeo that we have all grown to love. Rodeo is the true American sport and represents honest competition and fair play for which this country stands. We want to protect the future of rodeo and its participants.

Thanks so much for your support! We love, respect and admire our American rodeo family.
