PENDLETON â The Pendleton Round-Upâs Tough Enough To Wear Pink may not have been able to take place in 2020, but that didnât prevent the campaign from raising $11,000 for its causes. The TETWP campaign on Dec. 29, 2020, donated more than $11,000 to two local cancer support organizations.
The Round-Up Associationâs TETWP split $11,000 raised in 2020 between the St. Anthony Hospital Cancer Care Clinic and the Kickinâ Cancer New Beginnings program. While contributions usually come from generous sponsors, donations, fundraising events and merchandise sales, not having the 2020 Pendleton Round-Up meant no TETWP event. Instead, this yearâs contributions came from two primary sources: the Letâer Buck Cares Fund and Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery (OGGB).
