Kathleen has been the President for the Livermore Rodeo Foundation, since it was founded in 2008, in partnership with the Livermore Stockmen's Rodeo Association. That's 18 years!
The primary purpose of the foundation is to preserve and promote Livermore's western heritage while supporting the local community through charitable giving, scholarships, agriculture, and educational programs.
The Livermore Rodeo began in 1918 as a fundraiser for the Red Cross during World War I. It has grown into one of California's oldest continuously running rodeos and is known as the "World's Fastest Rodeo."
Since it's inception in 2008, the Foundation is given more than $300,000 back to the community including $100,000 in scholarships.
