Cattlemen’s Days Sponsorship Opportunities

Cattlemen’s Days sponsorship time is here! We appreciate your continued support and want to say Thank You! Without our local sponsors, this event would not be possible!

On the last page of the packet, you will find the sponsorship commitment page that you can fill out and return by TBD, with your sponsorship preference. If you’re interested in putting an ad in the rodeo program book, please submit your ad copy by TBD. We offer the option to have your business website or email linked from the Cattlemen’s Days website for year-round advertising. Please indicate your preference on the return agreement. If you are sponsoring through an in-kind donation, an invoice MUST BE received by TBD in order to receive your sponsorship package.

We are beyond grateful and humbled to be the #1 TETWP Rodeo and fundraiser in the nation for 9 years running! Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP), the charitable arm of Cattlemen’s Days, raises money for local breast cancer programs including treatment, transportation, and financial assistance. If you are interested in becoming a donor for TETWP or a sponsor of the TETWP Songwriter Shuffle, please contact Heidi Sherratt at 970-209-6332 or visit www.gunnisontetwp.com.

Our sponsors, community support, and Western Heritage keep this tradition alive in our amazing valley. Thank you all for your support! We look forward to putting on a great celebration for you in 2024!

Sponsorship Opportunities Cattlemen’s Days PRCA Rodeos

AGAIN this year! COWBOY CHANNEL COVERAGE

We are excited to again have national coverage of our Cattlemen’s Days Rodeo on the Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel + App. It is estimated that the Cowboy Channel and the App stream into over 43 million households and screens. By sponsoring Cattlemen’s Days, your banner may get covered in the app, and by advertising on the Video Board, it is more likely to be in the stream.

All Sponsorships include recognition by the announcer during each rodeo performance and
acknowledgment in the daily program, as well as the other benefits listed!

The Cattlemen’s Days Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those sponsors who have an unwavering dedication to the Gunnison Cattlemen’s Days Rodeo.
