Friday night at the rodeo was Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night. This cause was started by Wrangler and has spread to rodeos nationwide who want to support the fight against breast cancer. Rodeo committees will donate $1 for every spectator who comes to the rodeo wearing pink and the Wilderness Circuit Finals also had a silent auction this year to help raise more money for the cause. Val Byrum collected dozens of great silent auction gifts that people were able to bid on throughout the week and all of the proceeds were donated to McKay-Dee Hospital to help those affected by breast cancer. Wrangler started the initiative five years ago and since then over $5 million has been donated from rodeo events to support the cause.
