Sponsorships:  As usual, please HELP your Director get donations for the finals in your event.  Director is responsible for getting $1500 donated or that money comes out of an events added money at the finals. If your event doesn’t have $1500, that means your event is short and needs help!  Deadline for program ads will be October 3rd!

 

                                                       Sponsorships $$$$:  as of SEPTEMBER 22, 2008

                                   Each event  is required $1500 or the balance will come out of your added money.

        If an events gets more than the required added money for an event, that money will go straight to the events added money.

EXAMPLE:  Breakaway  has met $1500 required added money. If base pay added money is $4,000 and a contestant gets $500 extra = $4500 to their added money + bonus money.     

  Example:  Steer Wrestling has not met required $1500 only has $200 towards requirement  = $4,000 - $1300 = $2700 + bonus money.   

                                             This is why you contestants should help your Director in your event !!
