Kingsville Pro Rodeo raises $10k for Ronald McDonald House

A significant boost for families with sick kids came this week as the Ronald McDonald House in Windsor received a $10,000 donation from the Kingsville Pro Rodeo.

The event's organizers passed the cheque in a special ceremony on Wednesday, emphasizing their dedication to making a positive impact beyond the rodeo arena.

"Giving back to our community is a core part of our mission. We hope our donation brings comfort and hope to those who need it most," said Adam and Sydney Trimble, organizers of the Kingsville Pro Rodeo.

The funds will provide comfort, care, and essential services to families with ill children, ensuring their stay at the Ronald McDonald House is supportive during a difficult time.

The Kingsville Pro Rodeo was held from July 25 to July 27.

Last year, the event raised $8,500 for the Windsor-Essex Therapeutic Ride Association and $2,000 for Farmers' Wellness.
