The Greeley Stampede has made a record-breaking donation to the Stampede Foundation to assist local students with their education. The $94,779 will go toward scholarships for students in Northern Colorado.

The Greeley Stampede Foundation was formed in 1994 as a 501c3 non-profit organization with the purpose of supporting education for students in Northern Colorado. Since then, the Foundation has awarded more than $386,000 in scholarships to 584 Northern Colorado students. The money for the scholarships is raised through the Big Buckle Ball, the Stampede Golf Tournament and Western Art Show.
