Prior to the Spartan Stampede rodeo, the MSU Rodeo Club organizes a jackpot barrel race to raise funds for a Michigan charity. Each year a different charity is selected in hopes of helping as many groups as we can. This barrel race is a great learning experience for our members because, just as with the rodeo, every aspect is planned and executed by our club. It is also a great opportunity for competitors to have a fun night of barrel racing -- while also helping a great cause!
