Sunshine Kids Rodeo

Nov 2nd was a heartwarming day for our Region 7 families as we got to host the 2nd Annual Sunshine Kids rodeo. For those of you who don't know what this special event is, it provides the chance for Region 7 cowboys, cowgirls, and families to give back to kids with cancer and show them what we love to do… Rodeo!!!  There were four hands-on activity stations. The Mighty Bucky Station which provides a bull riding simulation experience. The dummy roping station to help kids learn how to swing a rope with the help of our student athletes. The Stick Horse and Goat Station is where the Sunshine kids were able to do the barrel pattern on a stick horse as well as seeing a goat up close. Finally, the Horse Riding Station where nine of our athletes brought their own horses for the Sunshine Kids to ride. In addition, every Sunshine Kid contestant was provided with back numbers, cowboy hats, drinks, snacks, ropes, and ropes gloves as well as a pin to wear that resembles this great organization. I got a chance to speak with Melanie Mahurin, Sunshine Kids Coordinator about this special event and how she has been in these families' shoes in her life as well. This event started in 1994. Mahrin was the Region 9 Student President and coordinator of the Sunshine Kids and brought this amazing event back to Region 7 last year for the 2023-2024 Rodeo Season. We asked Melanie why these events meant so much to her and she said, “My son Jett Garrett is a calf roper and team roping in Region 7. Not only is he an athlete, but he is a two time cancer survivor himself. He had kidney and lung cancer. He is a 10 year survivor! As a parent of a cancer survivor my experience through that journey impacts the preparation and success of this event greatly. I have walked and lived the path God chose for our family and because of His faithfulness he has given my son a second chance at life and I get to watch him compete as a normal child doing what he loves with the ability God gave him with a rope.”

This event has also left a rewarding positive impact on Region 7 cowboys and cowgirls as we go to reverse the role and help out on a rodeo for kids with cancer. It is definitely a humbling experience for contestants and families to help brighten up these sunshine kids and their families. Region 7 was able to raise and donate $2000 to the sunshine Kids Foundation.
