NHSRA STATEMENT REGARDING CHOICE HOTELS PARTNERSHIP
The National High School Rodeo Association values our sponsorship partners that allow us to thrive as an organization that serves youth and promotes education, animal welfare, discipline and the western way of live. Recently NHSRA representatives worked with Choice Hotels International to amend their sponsorship agreement. NHSRA recognizes that it is fairly common for companies to evolve promotional relationships with partners or sponsored organizations based on brand needs, market needs or other opportunities/issues over time.
According to Choice hotel company representatives, the decision to move from being an official sponsor was based on a number of factors, including overall marketing strategy, as well as animal welfare issues raised by critics of the sport of rodeo.
NHSRA has worked with Choice Hotels beginning in 2006 to systematically review issues raised and provide Choice company representatives with information. We provided information regarding our policies relating to the care and handling of rodeo livestock at our events and answers to specific questions raised as well as documentation from veterinarians showing the extremely low rate of injury and illness to rodeo livestock at NHSRA events, specifically the National High School Finals Rodeo.
Following the completion of this review, Choice informed NHSRA that the information they reviewed and which was presented from various parties was not entirely conclusive on either side of the equation. Based on this, Choice company representatives felt it was in the best interest of their company and that of their various constituents to amend the contract and sponsorship. Therefore, after discussing the issues and our concerns we came to a mutual agreement to amend the contract and sponsorship.
Choice continues to provide substantial discounts to NHSRA members and participants, and their contract with our organization continues through the contract period ending December 31, 2009.

When you hear the word Wrangler you think of integrity, grit, and rodeo. The Wrangler Division of the National High School Rodeo Association is all of those things. This Division was given seed money by Wrangler and charged with the responsibility of growing it into the most successful junior rodeo association in the world. Still in our early years, this association includes 37 states in the
U.S. and 4 Canadian provinces. We are supported by outstanding national sponsors who know how important it is to provide our youth with the chance to be competitive student athletes.
The program was designed to reach junior high students during important transitional times in their lives, and to offer them the opportunity to be involved with the positive, family oriented sport of rodeo. It will be a great stepping stone into High School rodeo, as we have designed our junior events to prepare our athletes for the next level of competition. Allowing 6th, 7th and 8th graders to rodeo on a national level and have the opportunity to earn thousands in college scholarships is our goal.
Join us and become a part of a great tradition and the newest legacy
of the sport of rodeo! |
