Jacksonville, FL (February 9, 2016) – The Jacksonville Equestrian Center is honored to announce that on March 4-5, they will host the Atlantic Coast Stampede, presented by Cinch Jeans & Shirts.

The rodeo is sanctioned by the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA) and delivers old-fashioned family western entertainment and a full rodeo program of rough stock and timed events with cow folk from across the southeast competing in America’s #1 extreme sport. Featured events include Friday ‘Armed Forces Night’ sponsored by Swisher International, with a portion of the rodeo proceeds going to the northeast Florida chapter of Wish for Our Heroes, and Saturday ‘Children’s Night’ sponsored by 99.9 Gator Country, with a portion of the rodeo proceeds benefiting Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

“Each night we will make a check presentation in the arena to each charity,” said Bill Fitzgerald of Western Events Rodeo Consulting and Event Planning of Franklin, TN, promoter of the Atlantic Coast Stampede, and All American Pro Rodeo Series board member. “Wish for Our Heroes was selected because there’s no better feeling than giving back to the heroes who protect our country and give us the freedom to do everything we do, and hospitals that help children are also near and dear to our hearts, which is why we will also be raising support for Wolfson Children’s Hospital.” They’re the two best reasons why everyone should come to the Atlantic Coast Stampede this March at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. “It’s about God, Family, Country, and Community. When we come in we build an event that people want to come back to year after year. We love bringing rodeo fun – the clowns, the bull riding, trick riders, the bronc riders – to families and kids,” Fitzgerald continued.

“The Jacksonville Equestrian Center is a great, state-of-the-art facility and the people here have been great to work with. It’s the first time we’ve brought this rodeo to Jacksonville but it won’t be the last,” said Fitzgerald.
