UPDATE FROM OUR CEO

March 2025 Newsletter


Good morning Casper,


As long as the month of January felt, March sure arrived quickly; and our team is excited to witness some of our growth efforts brought to fruition as we wrap up Q1.


First and foremost, congratulations are in order for Compete Casper and their local partners. Keeping 8 state tournaments (& an estimated economic impact of $24M) in Casper for the next five years is a big win for economic development, and we appreciate everyone's hard work. As the Board Chair, I'd like to personally extend an invite to all members who would like to volunteer this year. Compete Casper is expanding our reach and involvement, and we would appreciate your service. Don't hesitate to sign up and get involved or join us for our Dine to Donate fundraising event at Texas Roadhouse on Wednesday, March 12th (more information below).


Additionally, we're looking forward to seeing all of you at our Quarterly Cocktails networking event at The Drinkery on Wednesday, March 26th at 5pm. Radiant Nuclear will be in attendance so if you are hoping to learn more about their first-of-their-kind micro nuclear reactors or have any questions on Casper being the company's new home base; please join us!


Finally, as always, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you grow Casper.


Sincerely,


Justin

If you've been following along with us the last few months or attended our Quarterly Breakfast in January, you know that Compete Casper (formerly known as Proud to Host the Best) put together a compelling proposal to not only secure the Wyoming High School Activities Association (WHSAA) state tournaments; but to raise over $227,000 in sponsorship funds to support growing efforts in labor, hospitality, and the professional and collegiate facilities that make them possible in our community. We are excited to share that their proposal was accepted and the state tournaments are here to stay through 2030!
