“It’s a powerful conglomerate of sport, music, family, food and fun that we’d like the region to enjoy. We were thrilled to contribute to a meaningful solution, which we can see working at the events and since that time. We’d like to stay involved and are excited to offer our ongoing commitment to support Rhythm and Ride each year.”

– Taryn Ryan. Director, Footprint Cleaning

“It is an inclusive event offering performance opportunities to First Nations artists and performers. The event is well attended and I have noticed community support grow and it is an event that is highly anticipated. As we move on from border closures, I believe we will see many more visitors experiencing First Nations talent, musically, culturally through dance and food and of course through the rodeo.”

– Tania McKenna. Director, Songbird Productions

“We strongly support their proposal for funding from the Broome Shire for the further strengthening of the Rhythm + Ride event. We are especially excited to contribute to the event through the mentoring of young Aboriginal people and continue the connection to the world of rodeo, which many young people in our region relate to. We offer our support to Rhythm + Ride and its activities as a culturally secure way to build skills and strengthen wellbeing and resilience.”

– Andy Greig. Managing Director, Agunya Ltd

“Events such as the rodeo being proposed to be run by Saltwater Country Incorporated are essential to the local community. They are also an important part of the beef industry and provide an opportunity to bring together pastoralists, extended families, community members and visitors in a positive environment. As well as providing an event to look forward to, the funds generated are used to help disadvantaged youths re-engage with the community and find new skills.”
