(Riverton, WY) – The annual Wind River Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Rodeo Roundup Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night brought in hundreds of spectators Tuesday night, and even the sky was tough enough to wear pink in support of the cause.
Cancer survivor Judy Groathouse and the late Kent Christiansen were honored during the opening ceremony, along with their families (which can be seen in the video below the results).
Cinde and Gary Pfisterer, along with Tim Davis/The Shoshoni Fastlane and Liz Philp (in addition to a donation from Kenny Lane) were recognized for their auction purchases, which helped raise over $16,000.
The auction items included stunning/hand-crafted shotgun Angora woolies and pink with metallic teal chaps, auctioned off by Bryce Westlake.
