- $545,710 spent. Liberty and Loyalty Foundation is a team roping school and event dedicated to thanking our military veterans and active-duty service members, first responders and their families. The week-long activities and events foster connections within the team roping clinic through the week and they are a big part of our closing event and celebration, the NFR Showdown. One way that we give back is to provide the participants with an unparalleled experience, roping with and watching the top team ropers in the world compete in an NFR setting that we have brought to the Fort Worth, Texas area. These events create a community that continues to grow each year. We work side by side with past participants and their families to put on these events. We hear countless stories about how they save up for and clear schedules so that they will not miss it year after year. This week long event allows them to detach from their highly stressful, extraordinarily difficult environments and come together with other people that understand, along with a roping community that loves and supports them. Lives change in this one week every year and it reminds us of our freedoms. These events are supported by various companies and it is the main fund raising opportunity of our organization. The 501c3 organization Building Homes for Heroes that provide mortgage free homes for our veterans was the recent fruit of our efforts.
