Exceptional Needs Rodeo

 

Each year, one of our favorite events is the rodeo we host for the exceptional needs community of Blount County. Partnered with the Blount County Schools and the Arc of Central Alabama, we invite those with exceptional needs to enjoy their own rodeo loaded with fun activities. We have a fantastic team of volunteers who help us provide lunch, face painting, games and activities, along with gifts for the attendees. We want to continue to grow this event so those who have disabilities or exceptional needs can continue to enjoy the eventful day to themselves filled with love and compassion. If you are interested in donating, sponsoring or volunteering for this very important event, please contact Sergeant Jason Paul at jpaul@blountcountyal.gov.
