The Austin Smith Foundation was chosen to be a recipient of the St. Paul Rodeo Hall of Fame Dinner and Silent Auction on July 1st 2025. Thank you St. Paul Rodeo and the amazing community for their generosity during the St. Paul Rodeo Hall of Fame Dinner & Auction.
We had amazing items donated including the John Growney bronze statue, Bad Boy mower, a custom wine barrel chair, Pendleton blanket, Equine pasture shelter and many more. The donations and auction bids helped the Austin Smith Foundation raise over $50,000 which helps the foundation provide scholarships to future first responders in our community.
On July 2nd 2025, the St Paul Rodeo held the Austin Smith First Responder Night where they honored first responders from multiple agencies. Among those honored was St. Paul Fire Department Chief and Austin Smith Foundation Board Member Bryan Lee. Thank you to the men and women who put their lives on the line every single day for us!
Thank you St. Paul Rodeo for supporting our mission and giving us a portion of ticket sales from the First Responder Night.
