Wrangler, the iconic denim brand, and patron of the West, has come on board as the title sponsor of COWGIRL 30 Under 30, heading up its first Empowered Gala.

The lead supporter since its inception in 2020, Wrangler has helped strengthen the COWGIRL 30 Under 30 program through its support while bolstering the recognition the program brings to young women in the Western industry.

“Wrangler has always been a strong supporter of the COWGIRL 30 Under 30 program and we’re thrilled to have them take the title of our most important project,” says COWGIRL Publisher, Ken Amorosano.  “It is with their generous contribution that we are able to take the program to the next level and ensures our success by multiplying the results for our honorees ten-fold.”

“As a brand rooted in the western lifestyle and longtime partner of COWGIRL, we’re thrilled to see the 30 Under 30 program’s continued success with the addition of the first Empowered Gala,” said Robin Rich, senior brand marketing manager at Wrangler. “Strong women have been an important part of the industry’s history, and as we celebrate Wrangler’s 75th anniversary and look forward to the next 75 years, we’re honored to recognize the inspirational young leaders of the present and future.”
