Honoring rodeo roots and western spirit every day
Honoring Western Traditions
At Merced Western Heritage Foundation, we cherish the spirit of rodeo and work tirelessly to preserve its rich history.
Our Mission
Community Impact
We support professional rodeo events and educational programs that keep western heritage alive for future generations.
Golden Circle of Champions
The Merced Western Days Rodeo is proud to partner with the Golden Circle of Champions to recognize three courageous pediatric cancer patients during our rodeo on Saturday, June 13th. What began in Santa Maria has grown into a nationwide program that supports children battling cancer and their families through the spirit of rodeo and community. The Golden Circle of Champions creates unforgettable experiences by pairing young Champions with rodeo athletes and surrounding them with encouragement, special gifts, and lasting memories. We are honored to welcome these incredible kids and celebrate their strength, bravery, and resilience in front of our rodeo fans as part of this year’s festivities.
