PARTNERSHIP & SPONSORSHIP NOTICE — FINAL CALL
As we move into production for national marketing, event signage, and printed recognition materials, the partnership and sponsorship window for THE S.L.A.B.® 2026 — SCHEELS National Championship of Barbecu(Student’s Learning About Barbecue) is approaching its close.
Organizations seeking placement in official championship marketing assets, student-facing program materials, and on-site branding must confirm participation no later than March 1.
This championship is not simply an event — it is a Career & Technical Education engagement platform that connects industry partners directly to middle school and high school programs nationwide. Your support advances hands-on learning in culinary arts, agriculture, engineering, business, and workforce readiness while empowering students through experiential project-based competition.
Once the deadline passes, production files will be finalized and submitted. Opportunities requiring logo inclusion in printed assets, event collateral, and national distribution materials will no longer be available for the 2026 cycle.
