Forged Ranch Foundation

Forged Ranch Foundation was created from a belief that we are called to serve others with compassion, generosity, and faith — especially as they walk through life’s hardest seasons.

What started through rodeo and community events quickly became something much bigger: a way to bring people together to support children and families facing illness, hardship, and adversity.

At the center of our story is Jackson “Jack” Collins.

When we met Jack, he had recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Jack’s strength, courage, and unwavering spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Even in the face of unimaginable challenges, Jack inspired a community to come together in faith, love, and support for one another. Following his passing, we felt called to continue that mission — not only in his honor, but for every family walking a similar road.

“Fight Like Jack” is more than a phrase to us. It is a reminder to lead with courage, live with faith, love deeply, and show up for others when they need it most.

Through charitable rodeos, community events, fundraising efforts, and partnerships, Forged Ranch Foundation exists to support families affected by childhood illness and hardship, while also helping organizations and research efforts fighting for better treatments, care, and hope for the future.

We believe rodeo is about more than competition. It’s about community. It’s about faith. It’s about using the platform we’ve been given to serve others in meaningful ways.

Our prayer is that every event, every donation, and every act of support points people toward hope — and reminds families that they do not walk these battles alone.

Together, we fight like Jack..​
