Norris Penrose Legacy Foundation

ABOUT

The Norris Penrose Legacy Foundation was established in 2021 to own, operate, and sustain the Norris Penrose Event Center. This historic property is home to the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and is intended to be used as a community asset, and to build partnerships with local non-profit organizations in the Colorado Springs area. Adjacent to Bear Creek Open Space, we offer 67 acres of unique indoor and outdoor event space, providing a true Colorado experience.

Fundraising plays a crucial role in the success of any non-profit. The Norris Penrose Legacy Foundation is here to help organizations leverage their strengths and fundraising capacity in support of sustainable solutions to community issues by providing access to our event space at free or reduced charge. Let us help make your next event a success!
