Leave No Veteran Behind has been selected to be the charity of choice for the National Veterans Rodeo & Resource Fair—a day where celebration meets impact. More than just an event, it’s a call to action. Our goal: to enroll over 1,000 veterans into the VA services they’ve earned and to honor the history, service, and sacrifice of veterans from our community. This groundbreaking event is dedicated to celebrating the resilience, strength, and service of our nation’s veterans. Taking place on Sunday, August 10th, in Chicago this historic event will serve as both a thrilling cultural experience and a vital outreach initiative aimed at getting veterans signed up for VA benefits and connecting them with critical resources.
As the first event of its kind, the Veterans Rodeo will bring together veterans, families, and supporters for an unforgettable day featuring traditional rodeo entertainment, community engagement, and veteran recognition. More than 20 veteran service organizations will be represented, ensuring that attendees have direct access to the benefits and support they have earned. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago, reinforcing our shared commitment to serving those who have served us. We invite sponsors and partners to join us in making history by supporting this landmark event. Your involvement will help create a meaningful experience that empowers veterans, strengthens community connections, and ensures every veteran has access to the resources they deserve.
