About The Foundation

About The Foundation
The New England Wild West Fest is the signature fundraising event for the Spirit of the American Cowboy Foundation, a Boston, MA based, all volunteer non-profit corporation which is dedicated to raising money for childrens cancer research primarily by showcasing the sport of rodeo and other aspects of the western lifestyle. At this time, the Foundations chosen primary beneficiary is the Boston, MA based Jimmy Fund, the principle fundraising arm of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.The Foundation's Annual GiftThe Foundation's goal is to make an annual gift to our chosen beneficiary or beneficiaries. Our annual gift will generally consist of a combination of direct contributions to the beneficiary by the Foundations supporters, corporate matching gifts, and a grant from our giving account within the U.S. Charitable Gift Trust.In 2011, we were proud to give $25,000 to the Jimmy Fund / Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Since 2007, the Foundation has given a total of $127,000 to pediatric cancer research.Why the Mission to Join the Fight Against Childhood Cancer?To a certain extent it is because we believe that the sports of rodeo and bullriding reach their highest calling when put forth in the name of a charitable cause. They are a unique legacy of a great nation, one with a generous and courageous heart. But there is more to it than that.The true cowboy spirit is about being brave enough to face a foe that is much greater than any man. Its about being courageous enough to fight through the physical pain that comes with facing that foe time after time. Its about having the strength of mind and spirit to never quit, to never give up, no matter how difficult the struggle or bleak the odds. This is how the cowboy spirit is related to the fight against childhood cancer.The original inspiration for the work of the Foundation came from the battle fought and won by an exceedingly courageous young man named Ian Emery and his family. We remain humbled by, and in awe of, the strength and courage that sustained them through their long struggle.It has been said that there are no atheists in a rodeo arena. So too can that most certainly be said about any pediatric oncology ward. Showing a willingness to reach beyond themselves and their own abilities and limitations, seeking out a higher power, and finding the added inner strength to never give up the fight against a fearsome and powerful foe that they do not understand nor know that they can conquer is what children who face this deadly disease do each and every day during their struggle. In that, there is no better example of what we call the Spirit of the American Cowboy.
