Awakening the Spirit

Dear Sponsor,

 

     My name is Sonya Dodginghorse, I am a First Nation professional barrel racer and educator from the Tsuut’ina Nation. This 2022 season, my 15-year-old daughter and I are giving our full commitment to our professional rodeo career as we continue the intergenerational healing journey through the spirit of the horse.  We live healthy active lifestyles and promote improving the lifestyles of those around us through fitness, nutrition, healing historical trauma and cultural diversity through our horse program. We also volunteer in our community and promote the sport of rodeo by hosting many youth initiatives throughout the year. 
 

     We are offering you a rewarding and unique sponsorship opportunity. As we travel across Canada and the USA competing at a Professional level, my daughter and I will represent your company at the highest level of integrity inside and outside of the rodeo arena. The rodeo industry is large and far reaching. According to the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association, there are 6.3 million loyal rodeo fans in the USA alone, and with the platforms of live streaming and television networks, the fan base has exponentially grown internationally. Being First Nation rodeo competitors is distinctive in the Professional Rodeo Industry because we are noticed and respected for our commitment and dedication to the sport. Furthermore, we thrive to build healthy relationships with Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people by sharing our story of resilience through our lens, therefore, we are including a Team Building Event with Culture and Diversity Awareness Training at our DH44 Ranch for your company along with your sponsorship.

  Your company, trademark and brand name will be recognized and promoted throughout Canada and the USA on our western attire, living quarters horse trailer, and on our personal social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat) where we have over 15,000 followers on Tik Tok alone. Additionally, at the end of season we will provide you with a memorable acknowledgement of your sponsorship in the form of an action photo and personalized note.

     Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing our package. Please complete the attached sponsor confirmation. If you require further information, please call me at 639-205-7742 or email dhranch44@gmail.com.

 

Respectfully,

Sonya Dodginghorse
