"We depend on rodeo committees and volunteers to promote and sponsor TETWP so it was an enormous challenge to reach this number," explained co-founder Terry Wheatley. "But the western community always steps up."
Typically, there is a friendly competition among rodeos throughout the season to raise the most money for TETWP. Although this year was different, a recognition of TETWP's 16th Anniversary was held in Arlington, Texas at the Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. Montana Silversmiths, one of the founding sponsors graciously presented a custom belt buckle to our honoree, a 17-year breast cancer survivor. Western business sponsors of TETWP include Wrangler, Montana Silversmiths, Las Vegas Events, Twisted X Boots, Cinch and Purple Cowboy Wines.
About Tough Enough To Wear Pink?™
TETWP™ was created by entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor Terry Wheatley along with Karl Stressman to bring the sport of professional rodeo and the western community together to rally against breast cancer. Since its inception in 2004, TETWP has empowered rodeos in the U.S. and Canada to focus attention on the need for a cure. To date, the campaign has raised $33 million for breast cancer charities, most of which stays right in the local communities. The grassroots movement has inspired other sports communities to mount their own TETWP campaigns, spreading a message of hope and support that reaches beyond the rodeo arena to competitors, families and fans across America.
