Tonight, cowboys and cowgirls clad in pink will fill the Thomas & Mack Center, home of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, for this extra special Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night.

“We’re proud to have raised over $20 million since we began 10 years ago. We are proud of the over 300 rodeos and events that participate each year. We are proud of Wrangler, the title sponsor of this campaign. And we are proud of the cowboys and cowgirls who have made this campaign their own,” says Terry Wheatley, Tough Enough to Wear Pink co-founder.
