In-kind "Goods + Services" Sponsorship

Each city/town RIDE needs similar provisions and supplies to run the event with excellence. Businesses who provide $500 worth of the following goods and services "in-kind" qualify as Community Sponsors:

1. Lunch Provisions (meat, bread, sweets): The RIDE hosts an event day Celebration Lunch for hungry riders, which costs somewhere between $4-5 per rider. Contributions of quality meat, bread or sweets will significantly reduce event expenses.

2. Rest Station Snacks (water, snacks): Most RIDEs have a minimum of four rest stations, requiring a minimum of $500 worth of provisions for the day.

3. Portable Toilets: Most locations require a minimum of $500 worth of portable toilets to service riders and volunteers along the route.

4. Signage: New locations require $1000 worth of signage to ensure the safety of our riders.

5. Pre-RIDE Promotion Lunches: Promoting the RIDE works best when we introduce it over breakfast or lunch, inviting 10-12 potential team captains and leaders to listen and learn more about the event.
