Amanda

 
Welcome

Welcome to the Amanda Westermier Foundation.

Relationships are a cornerstone value of the foundation. Relationships with friends, family, and the father have allowed us to maintain a positive attitude as we deal with this tragedy. The late nights and all weekend rodeos provide cherished memories that all parents should treasure. Amanda was a fierce competitor with a will to win, but this was balanced with sportsmanship and a giving heart. Ironically, she was an organ donor and gave her heart to an African American woman and several other organs to individuals whom have become dear friends. The foundation strives to promote her giving spirit by supporting the Oklahoma Organ Sharing Network. Annually the Amanda Westermier Memorial Rodeo is held at the Lazy E Arena. This is a family event featuring young cowboys and cowgirls starting with the 4 and under age division and progressing to adult competitors. Funds raised through donations, a silent auction, and the rodeo provide scholarships for kids to attend the Camp of Champions and promote sportsmanship in several youth rodeo organizations. Camp of Champions incorporates a world class rodeo school in a positive spiritual environment. Past and present instructors include Stran Smith, Paul Tierney, Charlie Kingsbury, Allen Bach, Cody Custer, Frank Newsom, Clay O’Brien Cooper, Cory Navarre and many, many others.

The Amanda Westermier Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit. All gift and donations are tax deductable.

This organization is driven by the hole left in our hearts after the loss of Amanda and the desire to make something positive come from this tragedy. It is our hope that this ministry will encourage individuals that face great heartbreak to find peace, hope, and positive change in the world.
