Why Now?
It is a pivotal time for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With our lease ending in 2032, it’s time to act and prepare for the next three decades and beyond.
 
 Imagine a Rodeo that thrives year-round, where students have countless hands-on opportunities in agricultural education, and where modern facilities match our ambitious spirit. That's the future we're building—not just for the next few years, but for generations to come.
​
The HLSR Community Coalition is stepping up to champion this vision, working directly with decision makers at the state and local level to secure the support we need. This isn’t just about preserving a tradition – it's about transforming the Rodeo into an even more powerful force for our community for the next 90+ years.
Donate to the HLSR Community Coalition
Thank you for being part of our past, our present, and our future.
Where will the donations go and how will they be used?
Donations will be used to advocate and educate policymakers for years to come on important initiatives related to education, agriculture and our facilities. Activities in which HLSR cannot participate.
​
HLSR Community Coalition must be funded independently by its members and not by HLSR. HLSRCC is a long-term commitment. It will be our voice to advocate for the four pillars of HLSR for years to come.
We understand that to thrive, we need to work hand in hand with our policymakers and community leaders to ensure our needs are met for years to come. To be successful, the most important factor is a high percentage of our 35,000 volunteers participating. Since we are also voters, we want policymakers to know that we are united.
​
What are the donation levels?
Donations starting at $50 will receive a Donor pin.
Donations starting at $1,000 will receive a Founder pin.
Donations starting at $10,000 will receive an annual Lifetime Founder pin.​

​Contributions to HLSRCC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes as charitable contributions.
