Become A Sponsor

Thank you for your expressed interest in the Galveston County Fair & Rodeo, Inc. and the youth of our county. We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization which promotes youth, education, and agriculture by providing the opportunity for the display of talent, exhibition and judging of projects from all areas of our county. We promote and support 4-H and FFA programs and activities throughout the year with animal clinics, seminars, and a place for monthly 4-H meetings to be held.

Each year the fair hosts over 4,000 youth participants in livestock shows, youth rodeo events, various contests and special events. We are proud to award scholarships, scramble money, and provide an opportunity for the exhibitors to sell their projects through the Junior Auction, Junior Commercial Heifer Auction, or by Commitment during the Fair. Each year, the Galveston County Fair & Rodeo pays out over $1,000,000 to the youth for their animal sales, craft sales, Ag mechanic sales, scholarships and scramble sponsorships. These opportunities would not be available without the support and generous donations of our sponsors, buyers, and volunteers.

Since we do not receive city, county, state or federal funding, our events and activities depend on the generous support of sponsors. This is where we can use your help...

Your sponsorship will allow us to produce quality events and activities for participants and spectators as well as to continue educational programs for the leaders of tomorrow through scholarships.

Thank you Sponsors!
