“We are excited to partner with Texas Precious Metals in celebrating WPRA athletes and providing a truly valuable keepsake,” stated Heidi Schmidt, WPRA President. “We are honored to have them join our team for the National Finals Breakaway Roping as well.”
Texas Precious Metals was founded in 2011 with a simple mission: to provide real value in the precious metals market through fanatical customer service, low premiums, and superior speed. Based in South Texas, the company specializes in buying, selling, and securely storing physical gold and silver for clients across the country.
Over the years, Texas Precious Metals has expanded its lineup of commemorative bullion through partnerships with organizations such as the PRCA, UFC, and Texas A&M University. The partnership with the WPRA is a natural addition to its Pro Rodeo collection, celebrating the athletes and traditions that define the Western way of life.
“We are honored to partner with the WPRA and support the extraordinary women who embody the grit, discipline, and integrity of women’s rodeo,” stated Tarek Saab, Cofounder & CEO, Texas Precious Metals, “This partnership reflects our commitment to the Western lifestyle and to the athletes who carry it forward with strength and class.”
