Since 2003, the Reno Rodeo Foundation has chosen children nominated by local hospitals to receive a special “Rodeo Wish” with funding to help enhance their quality of life.

This year, the Reno Rodeo Foundation distributed a total of $30,000 in wishes for patients of Renown Children’s Hospital.

The generous list of wishes being granted this year includes the following:

  • Equestrian therapy

  • A trip to meet the Giants and watch a game
  • 18 weeks of tutoring at the Sylvan Learning Center
