MIAMI, FL – The Keyes Company was proud to sponsor the 68th annual Homestead Rodeo on Jan. 20-22 in Homestead, Fla. The popular annual event is the southernmost rodeo in the United States.

In addition to providing substantial support for the Homestead Rodeo as a sponsor, Keyes was also well-represented at numerous events occurring throughout Rodeo Week.

With the encouragement of Mike Pappas, Keyes president and CEO; Tim Pappas, Keyes vice president; and Tony Garcia, District Sales Manager of the Keyes Homestead office, many members of the company’s statewide management team came down to Homestead to participate.

The Keyes Company, together with Keyes Insurance, sponsored the annual Buck-Off community event during Rodeo Week. During the Buck-Off event, members of the community and business leaders challenge each other to ride a mechanical bull and see who can stay on the longest – and earn points for proper technique.

Christina Pappas, District Sales Manager of the Keyes Brickell Office, obtained the highest score within the company to become the 2017 Keyes Buck-Off Champion.

On the final day of Rodeo Week, Keyes won first-place honors in the for-profit category for its float in the Homestead Rodeo Parade.

“We are so proud to support and participate in one of South Florida’s premier annual events,” said Mike Pappas. “Our leadership team sets the tone for the entire company when it comes to community involvement. At Keyes, we take pride in being a strong corporate citizen.”
