Announcement: MTC Federal Commits to be Presenting Sponsor of the Gene Autry Rodeo
Ardmore, OK — MTC Federal Credit Union is proud to announce its partnership as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Gene Autry Rodeo, taking place July 24–25 in Gene Autry, Oklahoma.
As part of the sponsorship, MTC Federal will also be giving away 50 complimentary rodeo tickets to members and residents, helping more families and community members experience one of Southern Oklahoma’s most treasured annual traditions.
For MTC Federal, the partnership reflects far more than sponsorship visibility—it represents the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Ardmore and Carter County communities it proudly calls home.
“For more than 30 years, MTC Federal has been part of this community, and we believe strongly in supporting the events and traditions that bring people together,” said Kimberly Witt, President & CEO of MTC Federal Credit Union. “The Gene Autry Rodeo is one of those special events that reflects the spirit, pride, and heritage of this area. We’re honored to step in as the headline sponsor and help continue a tradition that means so much to so many families throughout Carter County.”
The rodeo has not had a presenting sponsor for the past two years, making MTC Federal’s support especially meaningful to organizers and the community alike.
“We are incredibly grateful to MTC Federal for stepping up to support the Gene Autry Rodeo in such a significant way,” said Laneau Duncan, President of the GARC. “This event has been a long-standing tradition for our community, and partnerships like this help ensure we can continue bringing families together for a great weekend of rodeo, entertainment, and community pride. MTC Federal’s commitment truly demonstrates what it means to be a community partner.”
In addition to the sponsorship and ticket giveaway, MTC Federal will have a presence throughout the event weekend and looks forward to celebrating alongside community members, local families, and visitors from across the region.
The partnership continues MTC Federal’s broader focus on community involvement and giving back during its 50th anniversary year, reinforcing its mission of working hard for hardworking people.
More information about ticket giveaways and rodeo activities will be shared through MTC Federal’s social media channels and local branch.
