This could involve hosting events such as rodeos, cowboy experiences, and cultural festivals, as well as collaborating with other community organizations to reach a wider audience.

About This Cause
The Oklahoma Cowboys Foundation, established in 2022 and officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) in early 2024, is committed to preserving and promoting the legacy of Black cowboys while empowering the next generation of riders and rodeo enthusiasts. Our foundation is rooted in community service, cultural education, and providing access to unique opportunities for inner-city children through programs that combine tradition, skill-building, and mentorship. Key programs include the Youth Summer Camp, After-School Program, and Rodeo Clinic, all designed to make equestrian sports and rodeo culture accessible and affordable. These initiatives reflect our mission to inspire youth, foster discipline, and celebrate the rich history of Black cowboys in Oklahoma and beyond. We aim to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, can learn, grow, and embrace the values of hard work and resilience exemplified by cowboy culture.
