Cenex®, the energy brand of CHS, has announced a new partnership with the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) for the 2023 competitive season. The partnership will foster new customer connections within the brand’s key retail footprint, while fueling an up-and-coming generation of rodeo athletes.

The partnership will include Cenex brand placements across NIRA digital platforms, social channels, in-arena signage and TV commercials on ESPN. On-site activities at select competitions will also create new brand touchpoints with dedicated rodeo fans.

“We’re proud to support the next generation of rodeo,” says Matt Mohs, vice president of Cenex refined fuels marketing. “Through this partnership, Cenex continues its dedication to supporting youth sports across rural America and celebrates a sport that’s so deeply rooted in the traditions and values of our farmer owners.”

“The NIRA is thrilled to be partnering with Cenex in 2023. It’s the perfect fit for our industry,” says NIRA Commissioner Jim Dewey Brown. “With CHS owned by farmers and ranchers, the Cenex brand is fueling rural America. We know these are the people that created our sport, and to be celebrating that history through this sponsorship is a wonderful thing.”
