Now in its second year, the Rodeo for Research is quickly becoming a well-known event based in Harford County. At the inaugural event nearly 300 people attended and over $56,000 was raised. The event supports the research teams of Dr. Benjamin Carson in Pediatric Neurosurgery and Dr. Jeffrey Rothstein in ALS at Johns Hopkins.

Organized by co-hosts Jackie Euler and Rosemary Hajek, they both have had personal experiences with ALS and Pediatric Neurosurgery. Wanting to give back, they decided to host a laid back event turning the Euler’s indoor riding rink into a classy barn.

This is an event you do not want to miss. We hope you will consider joining us for the second annual Rodeo for Research or if you can’t attend, please consider making a donation to support the cause.
