PORTLAND, Ore. – Baron Championship Rings and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference have announced an extension to a sponsorship agreement that will keep Baron as the Official Championship Ring of the GNAC for another three years.

“Baron has been a great partner for the GNAC and our member institutions,” said GNAC commissioner Dave Haglund. “We are excited that Baron will continue to provide a first-class outlet for the conference to acknowledge the triumphs and accomplishments of our conference champions.”

The extension provides Baron the continued opportunity to associate within the conference and offer the conference’s member institutions the opportunity to purchase championship rings to commemorate and recognize their achievements.

Baron will continue to provide a “GNAC Awards Locker Room” where student-athletes and parents can purchase rings and pendants for Academic All-GNAC and All-GNAC honorees. Baron will also provide custom rings to the GNAC’s annual Athlete of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year recipients in each gender.

“As the Official Championship Ring of the GNAC, we are excited and honored to be extending our partnership,” said Kevin Kloostra, manager of business development for Baron. “Baron has created many championship collections for GNAC athletes and institutions and it has given us a greater appreciation of the high caliber at which the conference operates. We are excited for the future and growing our footprint in the GNAC.”
