A GREAT TIME FOR A GREAT CAUSE.
In 1990, the Rancher’s Ride membership voted to incorporate and became a 501(c)(3) entity. Members further chose to refine their fund-raising options by limiting their scope of generosity to just one group- Children. Since 2000, Rancher’s Ride has contributed more than $800,000 to numerous non-profit organizations in Texas. Rancher’s Ride is a 501(c)(3) entity proudly donating 100% of the money raised to children’s charities
