The Sportsmen’s Alliance announced that Rocky Boots has been named title sponsor of the 22nd annual “Save Our Heritage” Rally in Columbus, OH, Aug. 18.

The yearly rally is one of the largest banquets of its kind, with proceeds benefitting the Sportsmen’s Alliance mission of protecting and advancing the heritage of hunting, fishing, trapping and recreational shooting in all 50 state legislatures, in state and federal court and at state ballot boxes nationwide.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have Rocky Boots come on board as the title sponsor of Rally,” said Evan Heusinkveld, president and CEO of Sportsmen’s Alliance. “We couldn’t ask for a better partner and supporter of Ohio sportsmen and women than our friends at Rocky!”

Rocky Boots, a member of the Sportsmen’s Alliance Business Partner program, has supported the Alliance in many ways, including a reception at the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) and by including marketing materials in packaging sent to Rocky customers.

“Rocky’s devotion to protecting the passions and heritage of sportsmen here in Ohio and nationwide can’t be overstated,” said Sean Curran, vice president of membership and development for Sportsmen’s Alliance. “As we celebrate the 40-year anniversary of our organization, we’re honored that Rocky will be the 2018 Rally title sponsor.”

“We are pleased to partner with Sportsmen’s Alliance to ensure that the 2018 Rally is the best one yet. With our shared vision of elevating the experiences of today’s hunters, we hope to ensure the preservation of this rich heritage for the future stewards of the outdoors,” said Jason Brooks, president and CEO of Rocky Brands Inc. “Please join us at the Sportsmen’s Alliance Rally on Saturday, August 18, to show your support for the organization and to say ‘thank you’ for their efforts on the countless initiatives they tackle each year. We look forward to seeing you there as we share our passion for the outdoors and support of our shared mission of hunting and wildlife conservation.”

The Sportsmen’s Alliance “Save Our Heritage” Rally presented by Rocky Boots takes place Aug. 18 at Villa Milano Banquet & Conference Center in Columbus starting at 4 p.m. With more than $50,000 of firearms, prizes and hunting and fishing trips across North America, the rally helps raise money to protect sportsmen from attacks initiated by animal-rights activists, including lobbying efforts and court costs.
