Local groups who worked parking cars, selling food, shuttling patrons and more include Hope Horses & Kids, Monterey Bay Veterans, Inc., various high school athletic departments and clubs, The Ernie Camacho Foundation, Sun Street Centers, Toro Bulls and several other organizations.In addition to local donations, funds are also allocated to rodeo related groups like the Monterey County Sheriff’s Posse Junior Rodeo, Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, California Circuit Finals, the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund and Friends of Rodeo; the California Rodeo Salinas’ mission statement includes preserving the traditions of the west and donating to other rodeo-related entities aligns with that.
