Tom Bass came up with the idea of a Business Sponsorship program for our Rotary Club as he had sucess with this idea when he was in the Kiwanis club. He and PP Traci Lacock discussed the idea and formed the original committee which included Tom, Traci, Brittany Wilson, Derek Jerred and Mike Williams. The concept was to raise money from local businesses to do good things in Laramie County and in turn promote those businesses at Cranium Cup and thru our media programs. The committee began raising money for our Rotary club and our Local Rotary Foundation in 2020..
Listed below is what we have raised since 2020:
2020 21,250
2021 31,250
2022 36,000
2023 40,000
2024 44,500
2025 45,000
TOTAL $218,000
