Scholarships

The Hillary Lynch & Michael Erritt Memorial Scholarships — honoring two members of the Go For Broke family.

Hillary Lynch

Hillary was a true go-getter whose days were always full — balancing farm calls, barrel races, pig shows, and family time, yet she always made room for those she loved. Her big, vibrant life touched countless people through her kindness, friendship, and willingness to help anyone in need. A devoted mom, partner, and horsewoman, Hillary's strength, spirit, and love will never be forgotten.

"There's only one thing more precious than our time, that's who we spend it on."

Michael Erritt

Michael was a humble, kind man who deeply loved his family and farming. Always giving his time and heart, he volunteered in countless ways — coaching, firefighting, helping friends, and keeping the barrel races running smoothly. A devoted father, friend, and true rodeo dad, he is deeply missed by all who knew him, especially his Go For Broke Barrel Racing family.

Two $500 scholarships are awarded each year to first- or second-year college students or those enrolled in a trade program.
