Sponsored children will be required to have a chaperone on the grounds each night of attendance. Parents are required to provide the name of said chaperone(s) to TCBRA. Additionally, sponsored children will accomplish their work night requirement by mentoring with TCBRA arena directors at two separate races.

- How he/she enjoys the sport of barrel racing,
- Why he/she participates in the sport of barrel racing and
- Why the Tri-City Barrel Racing Association should sponsor them.

Member input to yearly activities and plans are always welcome!
