About Tough Enough to Wear Pink
Join the western industry to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer! The Tough Enough To Wear Pink campaign debuted at the 2005 Wrangler National Final Rodeo when one evening of competition was devoted to the cause. Cowboys and cowgirls were encouraged to wear pink to signify their support, and sponsors made donations. The event became known as Pink Night, and a groundswell of support from the western industry and rodeo community began to grow.
The color pink is not something you would associate with the tough sport of rodeo; however, breast cancer has touched the lives of many rodeo families. The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign puts this important health issue top-of-mind at rodeos across America through a year-long breast cancer awareness and fundraising program. Tough Enough to Wear Pink events through individual rodeos benefit breast cancer research through Susan G. Komen for the Cure.For more information on Tough Enough to Wear Pink, visit www.toughenoughtowearpink.com
