Wyoming West Designs and the National High School Rodeo
Association has entered into an agreement effective
January 2010 whereby Wyoming West Designs is recognized
as the "official logo apparel and souvenir products
sponsor" of the NHSRA. Wyoming West Designs is
introducing a new line of logo merchandise for both men
and women bearing the NHSRA logo, and the merchandise
will be co branded with Cowboy Up and Cowgirl
Up®. The initial offering of the line will include
items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, etc.
This program continues Wyo West Designs quest to raise
moneys for the NHSRA Cowboy Up (registered trademark)
Crisis Fund. Over the past few years, some $40,000 plus
dollars have been raised with the support of our
retailers for the foundation by selling wristbands. Wyo
West Designs is making the donations to the foundation
from the proceeds of its sale of the NHSRA merchandise.
For more info and donations contact crisisfund@NHSRA.org
or for a catalog of NHSRA Cowboy Up Crisis Fund
merchandise contact
www.cowboytzz.com.
Check with your local retailers to find the new line of
clothing. This is an exciting opportunity for all of us
to assist and raise substantial moneys for the
foundation.

WHSRA Fundraising Calendar Project
At the WHSRA
State Board meeting following the State Finals in June, it was
voted to again have the calendar sales mandatory for all members
of the association. I worked with The Rodeo News this year to
give the calendars a little bit of a new look and I think they
should be very easy to sell. Each member will receive 5
calendars to be sold for $20 each. As you sell your calendars,
you will need to return the stub with the buyers and your name
on it to me, and then you and the buyer will both
be entered in our money drawings which will start in April.
When the winner is drawn, the person who sold the calendar will
also receive the same amount of money. The more calendars you
sell the more chances you have at winning! Top sellers will
have a choice of prizes which may include $500, a registered
quarter horse, chaps and tickets to the NFR. Let me know any
time
that you need extra calendars
and I will get them to you asap.
The project in
2008-2009 was very successful with the money from the project
being split 20% to the student general fund, 20% to the
scholarship fund and 60% for travel money. The money
from the general fund was used to host activities at the State
Finals last year. The Cowboy Prom dance, Movie Night, Karaoke
and the Hoe Down were free to all contestants. There was also a
Dodge Ball Tournament that was hosted using the money from the
general fund. This next year we are working on having
activities throughout the year as well as at the State Finals.
The money that went into the Scholarship Fund was
used to award scholarships to the graduating seniors who took
part in the Scholarship interviews that took place at State.
There was over $5000 dollars awarded to these members.
The travel money was used to assist members who
had qualified for the Nationals High School Finals as well as
members who attended Silver State. As you can see, the money
from this project is used to help the student members in many
different aspects.
If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me at any time. Turn in your ticket stubs to the
following address: Raegen Scott, 3 Orin Way, Douglas, WY
82633. You may also give them to me at any rodeo. If you are
not planning on attending any fall rodeos, please get in touch
with me I will send your calendars to you.
Sincerely, Raegen Scott Student President
