As if Carhartt wasn’t great enough as it stands, they just keep amazing me. Carhartt proudly sponsors organizations that require the kind of clothing that they produce. They care about communities, and organizations. As a family owned company they understand how important unity really is.
This is just great.
FFA
The first organization that they sponsor is the FFA (Future Farmers of America), Carhartt understands the hardships involved in farming, and becoming a farmer so they do their little part to help out. Carhartt has been a national FFA sponsor since 1997. They recognize improvement of the home, farm or the community through beautifying, modernizing, sanitizing or creating labor saving devices.
The National FFA organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
This organization fits a Carhartt sponsorship very well.
Stihl Timbersports Series
The second organization that Carhartt has been sponsoring for many years is the Stihl Timbersports Series. The Stihl Timbersports is a fierce competition that professional men compete in every year. There are a series of events that require agility, and skills with a chainsaw. They have to cut wood the fastest, or carve a wood block into pieces in a timeframe. Naturally this is something that would interest Carhartt, and they don’t only sponsor the competition, but the champion of the event also receives a Carhartt sponsorship.
Skills USA
The third organization that Carhartt sponsors is one that has been around since 1965. Skills USA was founded in 1965 by both teachers and students. Carhartt has been recognized as an Official sponsor of Skills USA in 2000. They donate clothes, and host events for the members of Skills USA. Carhartt recently sponsored Skills Canada, to which they say they’re excited to see the bright future of that decision.
Skills USA is an organization that prepares high performance workers, and provides quality education experiences, for students in leadership, teamwork, citizenship, and character development. Their purpose is to build and re-enforce self confidence, work attitudes, and communication skills. All of which are important in the working world we all live in today.
NASCAR
The most notable sponsorship that Carhartt has done is the number 17 car in Nascar. The #17 is driven by Matt Kenseth. Carhartt proudly sponsors the car and recently it paid off. The recent Daytona 500’s first place winner was Matt Kenseth while driving the sponsored number 17 Carhartt car. Carhartt is proud to be part of this event, as well as assist Matt Kenseth in building his racing career.
Carhartt is a very generous corporation. They take their time and money to help out things that matter to them. Youth, workers, entertainers, and Nascar drivers. They understand how hard it is to provide your message, and function without the resources necessary. Carhartt is giving all of these groups of people the opportunity to show them what they got.
I’m all for Carhartt sponsorship.
