our CKC Sponsorship Application
The CKC Dog Sledding Sponsorship Program has been very successful. What began in 2006 as a way of promoting dog sledding as a sport and promoting registration of purebred and mixed breed teams has become an exciting opportunity for many juniors as well as adults to fulfill their goals of mushing each season.
Congratulations to the following people who received sponsorship for the 2011-2012 racing season:
Steve Duren, for the Rodeo Run - West Yellowstone, MT - December 15-17, 2011
Garrett Warren, for the Eagle Cap Extreme - January 25-28, 2012
Trevor Warren, for the Cascade Quest - Mid January, 2012
Steve Riggs, for the Race to the Sky - February 10-15, 2012
Aiyanna Ferraro, for the Jr. Iditirod - February 25-26, 2012.
