Old-Time Cowboy Jamboree returns to benefit Sarah’s Home
An afternoon of live country music, barbecue and community fellowship will support survivors of human trafficking on July 26, when the fourth annual Old-Time Cowboy Jamboree returns to Searle Ranch in Monument.
The fundraiser is from 3 to 6 p.m. at The Barn at Searle Ranch, 18911 Cherry Springs Ranch Drive in Monument. Hosted by Stan Searle and Denny Roth, the event will feature live music from Colorado country band Ashtōnz with special guest Michelle Edwards of WireWood Station, a catered barbecue supper, live auction and an opportunity to learn more about the mission of Sarah’s Home.
Advance admission is $35, with proceeds benefiting the organization and its expanding mission. Tickets are available online at cowboyjamboree2026.eventbrite.com.
Sarah’s Home is an El Paso County faith-based residential program serving girls ages 11-17 who have been rescued from human trafficking. The organization provides trauma-informed care and long-term support to help survivors rebuild their lives. Community Impact Supervisor Jillian Winters is scheduled to speak at the event about the organization’s work and its plans for the future.
“The most rewarding part for me is celebrating all the little wins with survivors,” Winters said. “Each of them has their own story and therefore each one of them has their own unique victories.”
Winters said healing is different for every survivor and that Sarah’s Home strives to provide consistency and stability throughout each resident’s recovery journey. She also highlighted the organization’s next major initiative, Daniel Academy, a residential program expected to open in 2027 for teenage boys who have survived human trafficking.
“While we know that at least 35% of survivors are male, there is currently no other residential program for them in the United States that we are aware of,” Winters said.
Roth said the annual event offers the community an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon together while supporting an important cause.
“It’s as deserving a cause as there is, and we’re pleased to be able to support them,” he said. “We have a great time while raising money and helping to get the word out about Sarah’s Home.”
Advance admission is $35, with proceeds benefiting Sarah’s Home and its expanding mission.
