Cattlemen’s Days TETWP Annual Update

 Dear Tough Enough to Wear Pink Sponsors,

Gunnison's TETWP is the #1 rodeo in the USA in support of breast cancer, raising $210,000 since 2006.  Cattlemen’s Days TETWP has worked closely with Public Health, Gunnison Valley Hospital and area physicians to follow our local message;  "a program dedicated to providing local funding for breast cancer awareness, education, mammograms, support and further diagnosis."  One hundred percent (100%) of the dollars raised stayed in our community.

 Since October 2006  to the present Gunnison's TETWP has paid out over $99,760,  helped with 170 mammograms and ultra-sounds, one (11) biopsy and three  (5) families of breast cancer survivors.   In October, breast cancer awareness month, Gunnison's TETWP presented the Gunnison Valley Hospital with a check for ($27,000) to upgrade GVH to a digital technology platform that will compliment and enhance mammography in our area.

Please visit our new web site   gunnisontetwp.com for more information or to help.

A huge Thank you to Wrangler's humbleness in providing a venue nationally for a wonderful cause should not be overlooked.  So often, large corporations want to brand such causes with their name. There are often "ropes" attached with a portion of the dollars raised going to their agenda's causes or expenses.  Wrangler expects none of this.

Early detection is essential in beating Breast Cancer.  It is the most common type of cancer among women in the USA and rising in men.  Of the 220,000 new cases of breast cancer in 2007, 22% (48,400) will die. You as one of the sponsors allow our organization to ride on your back to help our community fight this hideous disease.

Thank You, Stetson, Resistol, Montana Silversmith, Roper, Weaver Leather, Double H Boots, Bullion Jewelry, Cactus Ropes,  Morey's Gifts, Shady Brady, Hat Biz, Nacona, Pro Equine, Skully Co. Colorado Saddlery, Rocky Brands Gear, Three D Belt Co. Gunnison’s Western World, Slogars.

 Sincerely, Cattlemen's Days, the Gunnison Community and entire TETWP committee
