Many people may not realize that Treynor Activities are funded primarily through event ticket sales, generous donations and sponsorships, and the outstanding support of our Athletic and Fine Arts Booster organizations. Together, these contributions help provide athletic equipment, fine arts resources, competition fees, uniforms, and everything in between.

The success our students achieve in athletics, fine arts, speech, music, and countless other activities is only possible because of the investment made by those who believe in our programs. To continue providing outstanding opportunities for our students, we are actively seeking sponsors for the 2026-27 school year. This year, we have expanded our sponsorship program to include Hudl livestream advertising, creating even more opportunities for businesses and families to support Treynor Activities while gaining visibility throughout our community.

Whether you own a business, work for an organization that may be interested, or know someone who values supporting local students, we would love to connect with them. We have sponsorship levels and advertising opportunities to fit a variety of budgets and goals.

Please take a look at the sponsorship opportunities and benefits program. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, or know someone who might be, please direct them my way.

With your help, we can build on the incredible momentum from this past year and continue a tradition of excellence for Treynor students for years to come.

Thank you for your continued support of Treynor Activities.

Cardinal Families and Fans,

We are excited to share a new and affordable way to follow Treynor Activities throughout the 2026-2027 school year found on our Hudl page!

Beginning this year, the Western Iowa Conference will move to a subscription-based streaming model for athletic events. For just $20 for the entire school year, Cardinal fans will have access to available streamed contests from schools throughout the Western Iowa Conference. For assistance with completing the subscription process, please read the Hudl Streaming Service Help Article. 

Streaming Options:

• Single Event - $7

• Entire School Year - $20

One of the biggest benefits of the yearly subscription is convenience. Rather than purchasing separate streams throughout the year, one $20 subscription allows you to follow the Cardinals both at home and on the road when events are streamed by WIC schools.

Whether you are unable to make it to a game, have family members who live outside the area, or simply want another way to follow Treynor students throughout the year, the WIC subscription provides an affordable way to stay connected.

At Treynor, we will continue to livestream events from Cardinal Stadium and our high school gymnasiums, giving Cardinal fans access to many of our football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, soccer, track, and other activities throughout the year.

Please keep in mind that streaming availability for road contests will depend on the host school having the necessary streaming equipment in place.

One subscription. One conference. A full year of Cardinal Activities.

With school starting back up, now is a good time for a school bus safety refresher. Make sure you know when to stop. Remember, these are not just suggestions - this is the law. Have a great year, everyone!  Learn more here: iowadot.gov/schoolbus
