The Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up’s Tough Enough To Wear Pink might not have taken place in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that didn’t prevent the campaign from raising $11,000 for its causes. The TETWP campaign donated more than $11,000 to two local cancer support organizations in December. The Round-Up association’s TETWP split $11,000 raised in 2020 between the St. Anthony Hospital Cancer Care Clinic and the Kickin’ Cancer New Beginnings program. While contributions usually come from generous sponsors, donations, fundraising events and merchandise sales, not having the 2020 Pendleton Round-Up meant no TETWP event. Instead, this year’s contributions came from two primary sources – the Let’er Buck Cares Fund and Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery (OGGB). The Let’er Buck Cares Fund, which has raised more than $900,000 since June, was established by the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Board of Directors through the Oregon Community Foundation to provide support to the community’s not-for-profits, service organizations, community groups and the local economy, all of which were immensely impacted when the Pendleton Round-Up didn’t happen in 2020. The Let’er Buck Cares Fund donated $10,000 to TETWP in October to allow TETWP to continue to support its two benefactor organizations despite COVID-19. In addition, OGGB, a distillery in Pendleton, held a fundraiser during what would have been TETWP day in September by donating a portion of proceeds from the day’s sales. OGGB raised and donated $800 to TETWP from the fundraiser. “It was devastating not being able to have TETWP in 2020,” said Casey White- Zollman, co-chair of the Round-Up’s TETWP campaign. “That’s why we’re so appreciative of Let’er Buck Cares, OGGB and all of the community members who have continued to support others, including TETWP and breast cancer awareness, despite the challenging circumstances we’ve faced this year.” Pendleton Round-Up TETWP campaign brings in $11,000
