Let's Honor Them
Military Family Day takes place at the Friday matinee performance July 17, 2026 of the NFR Open at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. We’ll be honoring the 10th Special Forces Group and all military families. To host as many military families at this performance as possible, please join the Board of Directors of the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in saying thank you to our local military and their families by donating to the Rodeo’s Military Tribute Program (MTP). This Program provides local military families with a Rodeo Experience Package that includes Rodeo tickets, vouchers for meals at the event, and access to select Fan Zone activities.
Donations are accepted in increments of $100, and each donor will be offered the opportunity to pay tribute to specific military units or military members by name and service branch. These tributes will be shown on large banner boards, prominently displayed on the grounds of this year’s Rodeo. Better hurry! This year’s campaign runs from March 25 – May 25, 2026!!

The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo is made possible by the tireless work of our all-volunteer Board of Directors, and hundreds more eager and energetic volunteers who espouse this nonprofit event’s mission of preserving our Western heritage while supporting local military and their families. From the front of the house greeters, ushers, and security, to the barns, chutes, and grounds, it takes thousands of man-hours to put on this first-class event. You’ll see retired and active-duty military, off-duty police and fire service professionals, local business owners and executives, ranchers and cowboys, and many others who proudly fill in the ranks of volunteers at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo.
