<br />5| Future Plans
<br />We have more than 45 sponsors who financially support the Roundup because they believe in our mission and the benefit we
<br />provide to the community. Several of our sponsors have been with the Roundup since its inception in 2014 and in 2024 we
<br />added many new/1st time sponsors to help continue to grow this event toward self-sufficiency. One of our key long-term
<br />collaborators is the Washington State Horse Park where our event is held each year. We promote our sponsors with banners,
<br />flags, posters, radio, social media, website, and they too promote the Roundup with cross marketing. Additionally, we utilize
<br />coupons and special promotions to drive rodeo fan business to our sponsor partners.
<br />We have partnered with several community organizations to further the Roundup and their organizations with shared
<br />volunteering and financial benefits. Some of our partnerships include Manastash Grange, multiple 4H clubs, Rotary, Youth
<br />Services mentoring, Quiet Cadence, Cle Elum Downtown Association, Ellensburg Rodeo Posse, and the Putnam Centennial
<br />Center.
<br />Additional partnerships have been forged with events like Bares & Broncs in Ellensburg, Toppenish Rodeo, Rascal Rodeo, &
<br />Roslyn Riders Playday. Our organizations support one another with volunteers and shared marketing & promotion.
<br />Thanks to partnerships and collaborations we give & receive shared social media marketing, poster hanging, volunteers, and
<br />recognition/promotion at events and within organizations.
<br />For 2025, we will continue to work with local businesses to collaborate on how to better expand our event for the benefit of the
<br />Cle Elum, Roslyn, and Kittitas County as a whole.

<br />Our focused marketing and promotion will be web and social-media driven. The Roundup website will continue to have a Visitor
<br />Info heading with pictures, links, & logos for local accommodations, our sponsors, the city of Cle Elum, and Kittitas County. We
<br />will also partner with local VRBO’s and hotels with Roundup room/stay rates and ticket packages.
<br />Lodging information is provided during the ticket purchase process and a coupon for a local restaurant will accompany each
<br />ticket.
<br />Additionally, contestants, contractors, vendors and volunteers will receive lodging and sponsor information, as well as be driven
<br />to our website for more information.
<br />During the rodeo performances, sponsors will be promoted with vendor booths, grand entry flags, arena banners, printed on the
<br />day sheets, and within the program. Additionally, the announcer promotes sponsors throughout the event.
<br />There will also be a Roundup poster, newsprint and radio ads with sponsor acknowledgment.
<br />Our sponsors are the reason we are able to accomplish our mission so we will do as much as we can to promote them and drive
<br />rodeo fans & contestants to their businesses.
