The Ben Richey Celebrity Rodeo (BRCR), presented by Evergreen Innovation Group, hits the Taylor Telecom Arena in Abilene, Texas, on Saturday, October 24, 2026! Part rodeo, part spectacle, the BRCR is a fun-filled day the whole family will enjoy. Every dollar raised benefits the kids and families at Ben Richey Boys Ranch & Family Program.
This year’s celebrity guest is Yellowstone’s very own, Forrie J. Smith!
The BRCR kicks off with a Wool Riding event for the young bucks. When the sun goes down, six “celebrity” rodeo contestants take the arena to compete for the Grand Champion buckle. Bringing big personalities and varying levels of rodeo experience, these bold amateurs bring the laughs, the nerves, and the heart, competing not just for the buckle, but for every child and family at The Ranch.
Our celebrity performers are competing to see who can raise the most donations before the event ends on October 24 — and that’s where you come in! Choose your favorite performer below and help them take the top spot.
Select a rodeo contestant’s fundraising page and donate to help them win. Every gift, large or small, helps write the next chapter for a child or family at the Ranch. Thank you for your support!
