Seeking Sponsorships for the 2016 Carbondale Wild West Rodeo

Why sponsor the Rodeo?

02/16/2016 We are closing in on the 2016 rodeo season.The CWWRA board has spent countless hours since the 2015 finals rodeo planning for a great 2016 Carbondale Wild West Rodeo season. One of the main responsibilities of the board is acquiring sponsorships. The rodeo would not be possible without the generosity of our tremendous sponsors. The 2016 Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Event Sponsorships Are Going Fast; however, we do have a need for more sponsorships!

Our top level, Gus Darien Arena Sponsorship is available, as well as Premium Sponsorships, General Sponsorships, and Friends of the Rodeo; however, there are a limited number of Events Sponsorships remaining.****1st Go-Round of Bull Riding has just become available (March 1, 2016). This is one of our most popular events and this sponsorship had been spoken for the last 10 years. Now is your chance to garner one of our top advertising spots.

Not all of the Event Sponsorships may be available, as we offer our existing sponsors the right of first refusal. Please contact Mike Kennedy or Dave Weimer (their contact information is listed below) to determine if the sponsorship level that you are interested in is available.You can be the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Program Sponsor, 1st Go-Round Bull Riding, also available are the ever popular Jr. Bull Riding and Ladies Breakaway Roping. (Call Mike or Dave — contact info below for more information.) Also, a limited number of $650 and $750 level sponsorships are still available. These are all great opportunities to showcase your business in the valley, or to let the community know how much your family cares about continuing the great tradition of the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo.

Call Mike Kennedy, CWWRA Board Pres. (970 379-3907) or Dave Weimer , CWWRA Board V. Pres. (970 618-6824) and they can help you to find the right sponsorship opportunity for you.

The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association (CWWRA) is a 501c3, volunteer organization committed to keeping the Roaring Fork Valley’s western heritage alive by offering a fun, family oriented rodeo. Along with the financial obligations of running the rodeo, CWWRA invests funds back into the rodeo facilities and contributes portions of gate monies to worthy organizations in the community. Your CWWRA board members are Pres. Mike Kennedy, V. Pres. Dave Weimer, Sec. Melanie Cardiff, and Treas. Tom Harrington.

The Carbondale Wild West Rodeo has enjoyed continued steady growth year after year. We are proud to once again bring you a “Small Town Rodeo, Big Time Fun!” However, without the help of sponsors we couldn’t offer the caliber of rodeo that our spectators and participants have come to enjoy year after year. Sponsors play a very important role by making it possible for the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo Association (CWWRA) to bring this very successful event to the Western Slope. We hope you will consider being a sponsor for the 2016 rodeo season.

Sponsoring the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo is an effective and affordable way to reach your customers in the Roaring Fork Valley. With a sponsorship you will get weekly exposure during the Rodeo to an average of 1000 diverse people who are residents and visitors of our Valley. In addition, your signs will be viewed at multiple arena events throughout the year and by thousands of motorists on County Road 100.
