About Turning Point USA
Turning Point USA is a nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative principles on high school, college, and university campuses across the country. It was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery. Their mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government. By supporting this event, you’re not just coming to watch an exciting barrel race — you’re contributing to a larger mission of defending American values and helping educate the next generation.
What to Expect
This event will be packed with action, excitement, and opportunities to give back. In addition to a day of incredible racing talent, attendees can enjoy raffles, a silent auction, and a 50/50 drawing. There will be something for everyone — from competitive riders to families, friends, and spectators who simply love the sport and what it stands for.
We encourage everyone to take a look around the auction tables and raffle booths, bid on your favorite items, and maybe even take home something special. Every dollar raised will go straight toward Turning Point USA, making every ticket, every bid, and every cheer matter.
