The 2019 Arcadia All-Florida
Championship Rodeo
Sponsorship Opportunities
The mission of the Arcadia All Florida Championship Rodeo is to produce the
best family oriented rodeo and equestrian entertainment possible; To preserve
and promote Florida’s rich cowboy heritage; To enhance the economic welfare
of Florida’s heartland.
About Us
The Arcadia All Florida Championship Rodeo, Inc.(AAFCR) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization that hosts rodeos and various equestrian events. The Arcadia Rodeo has a
long history in Desoto County. Our signature event, the
Granddaddy of Em All March Rodeo, began in 1929 as a one day
hometown rodeo. It has expanded to four days and celebrating its’
90th year, it is now the largest and longest running rodeo in the
southeastern U.S. We have the top-ranked bucking stock, the best
professional competitors and in 2018 the March Rodeo had
nearly 25,000 spectators in attendance.
The success of the March Rodeo has allowed the Arcadia All
Florida Championship Rodeo, Inc. to expand. In 2008, the Arcadia
Youth Rodeo Association (AYRA) was created to enable local
children to compete in rodeo in their own hometown. We now
host multiple events such as the Florida Junior High and High
School Rodeo Associations; the Fall PRCA Rodeo; the Florida Cattleman’s Ranch Rodeo;
Hispanic festival and rodeo; barrel racing clinics and the
Granddaddy of Em All Memorial Day Barrel Racing
competition. Now with the expansion into our new facility,
Mosaic Arena, we are adding even more multifaceted
events to our roster. The expansion will enable us to add
to our current $1.9 million economic impact.
All events at the AAFCR are planned and implemented by
our Board of Directors and volunteers. These community
leaders may not have any direct relationship with rodeo or
equine events but simply love their community and
recognize the significant impact the AAFCR has. We
would not be possible without our volunteers and
sponsors. Thank you!

Why Sponsor the Arcadia Rodeo
Sponsors get the best of both worlds, an excellent
place to advertise their company and the opportunity
to support an organization that truly makes a
difference. We have a unique setting for advertising/
marketing. Not only will our sponsors be featured on
television, print, radio, social media and web based
advertisements but during each event all eyes and
ears are focused on one central location (the arena).
Therefor, we are able to utilize traditional along with
non-traditional means (event flags, chute gates, an-
nouncements, banners, etc.) to promote our sponsors
to the nearly 25,000 spectators that attend both
events. Our social media page over 8,500 likes and
website gets consistent hits throughout the year.
