For Sponsors + In-Kind Donations

Bring your products, services and messages to an audience whose interests and skills align with your business goals. Expect to engage 500 event participants or more from at least 20 communities across the state of Texas who assist their local emergency management and response communities.

To increase foot traffic into the exhibit hall, the “Wagon Wheel” game gives participants a chance at winning great prizes (gift certificates, tools, etc.). Also, as an incentive for event participants to visit your booth and engage with your organization, please consider offering giveaways.

The CERT Rodeo is funded through sponsorships and donations that result in volunteers being more prepared and familiar with responding in the community.

Each year the CERT Rodeo event committee relies on the support of businesses that serve the emergency management industry to support the operation as sponsors and in-kind donors. The CERT Rodeo brings 500+ volunteer emergency responders together for training and recognition. Your sponsorship allows us to recognize our CERT volunteers in a meaningful way.
