2025: CMU Rodeo Gala

The Giannone Maher Group proudly served as the first-ever title sponsor of Colorado Mesa University’s 4th Annual Rodeo Gala. The event brought together supporters, alumni, and community members for an evening of celebration and generosity. Guests honored the team’s achievements, recognized outstanding student-athletes, and awarded community-sponsored scholarships.

Throughout the night, students and community members shared personal experiences, adding a heartfelt touch to the evening. The keynote address was delivered by NFR Average Winner in bull riding, Colten Fritzlan, inspiring attendees with his story and insights.

A major highlight of this year’s gala was CMU’s commitment to student success, matching 100% of proceeds contributed to Endowment Scholarships. This incredible initiative doubled the impact of every donation and reinforced the university’s dedication to supporting student-athletes. More than just a fundraiser, the gala was a true celebration of community spirit and the unwavering support behind the CMU Rodeo Team.
