Spent Here, Stays Here

The money that you spend at select food booths, buying programs, parking your car and more during the Rodeo and other events at the Salinas Sports Complex stays right here in Monterey County. Each year the California Rodeo Inc. gives over $450,000 to our local non-profits thanks to your support.

We also give back to Rodeo related causes that might be outside of the county including the Justin Cowboy Crisis Funds, Friends of Rodeo, the California Circuit Finals and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) circuit.

Ag Against Hunger
