Support Big Hearted Cowboys Today

 More than two decades ago a cowboy sat down to share a casual

evening with friends. Ron Scott had successfully ridden the pro

rodeo circuit as a steer wrestler for over 20 years. As a successful

businessman, Ron had also created a prosperous world for

himself in the Calgary marketplace. That evening, an idea was

born that captivated this modern-day cowboy and businessman

and inspired him to become a philanthropist. Ron wanted to

bring together the friends that he had met in both his business

world and in his cowboy world for a party that would generate

money to give back to kids and families in the community. This

party became known as the Big Hearted Cowboys – Meet the

Stampede Stars Charity Event.

Big Hearted Cowboys has grown substantially since then and

to date has raised more than $2 million for children’s charities

in Calgary. In the early years, the event provided much needed

revenue for the Between Friends Club, Boys and Girls Clubs

and the Southern Alberta Variety Club. From 2002-2016 event

proceeds were used to fund various programs at Hull Services,

affecting the lives of more than 2,000 kids in southern Alberta.

In 2017 Ron passed the torch of Big Hearted Cowboys to his

son, Monte Scott. Determined to continue the legacy, Monte has

taken the reigns and partnered with Community Kitchens and

KidSport Calgary with a goal this year of raising over $150,000.

Ron and Monte, give generously of their time and their resources

to help kids and families achieve success in their lives!
