To Support the Youth of Surrey & Lower Fraser Valley with financial aid and resources, while fostering relationships

The Cloverdale Rodeo Youth Initiative Foundation was established at the 68th annual Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair through its first annual scholarship program.   The objective of the Cloverdale Rodeo Youth Initiative Foundation (CRYIF) is to create a charitable entity of the Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition Association and give back to our community and surrounding areas through our 3 core pillars Financial, Resources and People.
