The Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo is a fundraiser hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Statesboro. All profits are donated back into the community of Statesboro and surrounding area. The Rodeo is one of two main fundraisers hosted by Statesboro Kiwanis.
Club President Matt Anderson said, “There never was a horse that couldn't be ridden; never was a cowboy that couldn't be thrown! We are excited to host our 13th annual Kiwanis Rodeo at the Bulloch County Ag Arena. This year we are hosting a 3 day rodeo! To top that off we are adding Breakaway Roping to the Rodeo lineup. This is going to be our 1st of two annual fundraisers for this year. The best part about this event is the fact that it helps us give back to our community each year. We hope that everyone will come out and bring the family to a full night of Rodeo Fun!"
