he Richie Scoggin Memorial Rodeo was held annually for 11 years in honor of Richard L. “Richie” Scoggin, an aspiring professional bull rider and younger brother of ESC founder Patrick Scoggin. Richard, 27, was killed in an automobile accident on June 12, 1997. Over the years, thousands of dollars were raised through this event and proceeds benefited organizations such as the Al Kaly Shriners, the El Pueblo Boys and Girls Ranch, and the High School Rodeo Crisis Fund and TREC. ESC director Patrick Scoggin was honored to represent the Scoggin family for this event over the years.
