SPONSORSHIP

Join the sponsorship excitement in one of the fastest growing sports in Alberta!

Sponsorship and Advertising Opportunities for the 2009 season are available now through the Alberta Team Cattle Penning Society

The sport of team cattle penning has been the fastest growing equine sport over the past decade both in the United States and in Canada – especially in our home province of Alberta. The ATCPS has felt the impact of this growth in its membership, which now exceeds two hundred and twenty competitive members.

With twelve regularly scheduled shows throughout north central Alberta, the excitement begins in April and concludes with a two day final show in September. In addition to this series, the annual Alberta Annual Classic (Zender Fall Classic) is held in November in the Agricom at Northlands Park in Edmonton. This jackpot coincides with Farmfair International and precedes the Canadian Finals Rodeo. It attracts penners and spectators from throughout Western Canada and USA. An estimated crowd of over 10,000 people watch and participate during the 3 day event with 499 teams competing for nearly $242,000.00 in prizes.

The current membership of the ATCPS consists of individuals as well as families, representing a vast array of occupations ranging from farmers and ranchers to private business owners and professionals. ATCPS members are also among the highest spending amateur athletes and are loyal to their sponsors. This loyalty has resulted in numerous long term and repeat sponsorship in the business community.

In 2009, our sponsorship program will try to accommodate the interest and continued growth of cattle penning in our area. I have enclosed information on the many opportunities available through our program and look forward to discussing them with you soon.

Sincerely

Kim Hull
