Rodeo Sponsorship
Since 1986, the Great Plains Rodeo has provided an opportunity for everyone to compete in the action-packed sport of rodeo. As a member association of IGRA, we encourage diversity and acceptance, and anyone is welcome. Unlike most rodeos, every event at the Great Plains Rodeo is open to anyone 18 years of age or older. Competitors come from not just Oklahoma, but from across the nation. Typically, our rodeo draws the most competitors and the largest audience of any International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) rodeo. The rodeo will be held at the new Canadian County Expo Center.
Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we need the generous support of our community sponsors to make the rodeo happen. We are, therefore, asking for your help in sponsoring the 2025 rodeo. Our costs include rental of the arena facilities, stock contractor, lodging for IGRA staff and officials, meeting space rental, awards, and associated expenses. In all, $30,000 is required to put on a quality event.
As a sponsor, you will receive advertising on a banner, along with numerous announcements and appreciation for your support by the rodeo announcer. If you have a banner and would like us to use yours, we will. Plus, you will know you are helping not only our organization, but the community as a whole. All profits from the rodeo benefit our charity partners. .
We hope we can count on your support and look forward to answering any questions you may have.
