We’ve seen great growth especially in the women’s teams over the past couple of years and appreciate all they are doing to in moving forward and so for the first time this year we’ve also committed to additional sponsorship support dedicated to the women’s teams.”

“Their commitment to our community, their school programs and their goals as a Club all align with our ‘We Love Locals’ motto. The Club and Bill Robertson Toyota were both established in 1972 so we’ve both been working for Gladstone for a long time.”
