MONTANA WESTERN ANNOUNCES 55TH ANNUAL RODEO BANQUET

January 15, 2025

The University of Montana Western Rodeo Team is excited to announce the 55th Annual Montana Western Rodeo Banquet, a much-anticipated fundraising event, taking place on Friday, March 28, 2025, in the Keltz Arena. Join us for an evening of celebration and support featuring dinner, a no-host bar, and silent and live auctions, all in honor of the UMW Rodeo Team.

The evening will begin at 5:00 p.m. with no-host cocktails provided by The Den, followed by a prime rib dinner at 5:30 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in silent and live auctions, as well as meet the Montana Western Rodeo Team. The night will conclude with a dance featuring live music by King Friday and Morgan Seymour.

Ticket Prices:

• Single Ticket: $75
• Reserved Table for 8 (Rows 1-4): $500
• Reserved Table for 8 (Rows 5-8): $400

The rodeo banquet is the team's primary annual fundraiser, with proceeds playing a vital role in supporting the program. Funds raised help provide scholarships for student-athletes, cover travel expenses, ensure access to essential practice facilities, pay for hotel accommodations, and support the Montana Western College Rodeo in the fall.

"This banquet is more than just a fundraiser-it's an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the success and dedication of our student-athletes," said UMW Head Rodeo Coach JT Robbins. "We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive each year, and we're excited to connect with our supporters at this special event."

Tickets are available for purchase through the Montana Western Foundation Office by contacting Kelly Allen at 406-683-7306.
