Behind the scenes, Proud to Host the Best raises $250,000 annually to offset the cost of hosting state volleyball, wrestling, marching band, cheer, basketball, and track. We're required to bid every four years [with WHSAA] to keep them here, and the bid process is getting much more competitive. Communities around the state are all vying to host one or more of these tournaments because they bring significant economic impact to the area.

Many generous organizations in the Casper area donate to make sure the tournaments stay here. Our foundational partners ($50,000+) are the Natrona County Recreation Board, the City of Casper, the Economic Development Joint Powers Board and Visit Casper. In addition, dozens of local businesses offer financial or in-kind support. While we've been successful at retaining these events for decades, our work is never done.

Community partnerships are critical in assuring that our student athletes and fans feel welcome. The money raised goes to offset the hard costs incurred annually to maintain the quality of service our participants, officials and fans expect. 100% of sponsorship support goes toward event expenses such as facilities, labor, and hospitality room amenities.
