July 19-28, 2024
We started this event in 1897 – celebrating the American cowboy. Even then, the roping and the riding, the singing and the celebrating had become a trademark of the West. Community leaders planted the seeds of what would become an entertainment extravaganza for the next 125 years… and counting.
We created the Cheyenne Frontier Days Foundation to help tell our story, which is the story of our western heritage. Cowboys are heroes here. The western way of life is cause for celebration and for preservation. We are the keepers of western heritage.
Our “show” tells the story of the American West – yesterday, today and tomorrow. We all know the story grows and changes and long-term growth involves building up assets to provide for the financial stability of the Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration.
Help us tell our story – be a keeper of the western heritage. Your gift, large or small, supports the educational telling of more of our stories. The Foundation can assist you or your advisors with structuring a donation for your maximum tax and financial advantage. For more information, please contact Renée Middleton, Foundation Executive Director, at foundation@cfdrodeo.com
