WHO WE ARE
Our Mission: Earn Your Spurs, Inc was established to encourage and empower ranch and rodeo youth, in southwest New Mexico and southeastern Arizona, to reach their maximum potential as they strive to further their education; whether through scholarships, leadership opportunities or educational resources.
ABOUT US
Earn Your Spurs, Inc. is a non-profit 501c3 organization founded on the idea that our ranching and youth rodeo community in southeastern Arizona and southwest New Mexico is rich in ranch and rodeo traditions, heritage and families working to pass their legacies down to the next generation. In striving to obtain a higher education for the youth choosing to go on to college, some of which have excelled in the rodeo arena, Earn Your Spurs, Inc. will play a role in providing financial assistance to qualified applicants, as well as providing unique opportunities for youth to engage with local college rodeo programs, professional rodeo athletes, and industry professionals.
