Jr. National Finals Rodeo

Chaya Gomes has qualified to compete at the world's largest junior high rodeo. Chaya is going into seventh grade in Maui, Hawaii. The National Junior High Finals Rodeo features roughly 1,000 contestants from 44 states, 5 Canadian provinces, Australia and Mexico. Chaya will be competing for $200,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named a National Junior High Finals Rodeo World Champion! To earn this title, Chaya must finish within the top 20 contestants. 

Chaya has been competing in rodeo since she was old enough to compete. Her passion for rodeo has grown through the years into dreams of becoming a world champion at the NFR. She spends several hours daily refining her talents and skills to be the best she can be. More importantly, she strives to attend college on a rodeo scholarship. 

Your donation will be dedicated to transporting Chaya's horses and equipment from the small island of Maui, Hawaii to Huron, South Dakota -- along with all of the other travel expenses. This exciting journey is an expensive one, and Chaya's family is asking for all of the help and support that you can offer. Chaya, a young Hawaiian girl, wants nothing more than to show the rest of the world what kind of talent that Hawaii can offer. Please help Chaya and her family send her to the 15th Annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo.
