About the charityA living legend, a public charity, a promise to youth
Harold Cash Living Legend Rodeo Charity is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity in La Marque, Texas. We exist so the next generation can learn, ride, and remember the cowboys who opened the gate.
Who we are
The Internal Revenue Service recognized this organization as exempt from federal income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3), effective February 28, 2024. Donors may deduct contributions under IRC Section 170. We file Form 990-N as a small public charity.
Our legal name is Harold Cash Living Legend Rodeo Charity. Principal officer: Harold Cash, President & Executive Director. Officers also include Wyatt Bennett, Clara Sterling, and Marcus Vance. Mailing address: 2918 John Street, La Marque, TX 77568-3855. Facebook also lists P.O. Box 642, La Marque, TX.
The seal on this site reads "Est. 1974" and "Giving Back to the Community." That heritage belongs to Harold Cash's life in the arena. The nonprofit itself is the vehicle formed so that work can continue with tax-deductible support.
Harold Cash
Harold Cash grew up in La Marque, one of eight children of Cora Lee Cash and George Cash Sr. Summers on his grandfather's farm in Kendleton, Texas, and later at his uncle Milton Coleman Sr.'s ranch in Dickinson, put him on horseback. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1967, earned a degree in industrial technology from Prairie View A&M University, and worked 27 years at Amoco Oil while still competing.
He is an All-American Rodeo Association champion bareback rider (1979 and 1981). He has been inducted into five cowboy halls of fame and has earned 12 buckles. After leaving the chutes in 1996 he turned to promoting youth rodeo and telling the history of Black cowboys on the Gulf Coast - including the mentors who held the whistle fair when others would not.
In his own words, the first Hall of Fame class was chosen to honor "cowboys who had mentored myself and many others in the rodeo ring."
