The Atlantic RAGBRAI Committee is currently seeking sponsorships from local businesses to support RAGBRAI 2019. Nick Harris, Atlantic RAGBRAI Co-Chair, says “The funds donated will help cover the cost of hosting RAGBRAI. A lot goes into being a host community and the funds will help pay for law enforcement, showers, bathrooms, signage, advertising, beer garden supplies, entertainment, etc. It will also be a great opportunity for local businesses to gain national exposure, the chance for 15,000 cyclists to see their name and an opportunity to support their community.”

Sponsorships are broken down into four main categories:

Platinum Sponsor = $5,000
Gold Sponsor = $2,500
Silver Sponsor = $1,000
Bronze Sponsor = $500

Bailey Smith, Atlantic RAGBRAI Committee Member , says “Each sponsorship level has a different amount of benefits based off the cost. The more you donate, the more benefits you will receive. Each sponsor will receive logo placement on signage, advertising, social media posts and the Atlantic RAGBRAI website. They will also receive VIP admission to Hairball, the headlining entertainment act. The amount of exposure given will depend on the sponsorship level.”Sponsorship Flyer

There are also sponsorship opportunities to help welcome and send-off cyclists as they arrive and leave Atlantic. For $1,500, businesses can sponsor the Grand Entrance or Grand Farewell. Each sponsorship comes with logo placement on signage, social media posts and the Atlantic RAGBRAI website. Sponsors will also receive VIP admission to Hairball. A Sunblock/Aloe sponsorship for $750 will also be available. The sponsor has the opportunity to provide sunblock and aloe to cyclists while gaining exposure through signage, social media posts and the Atlantic RAGBRAI website. The final opportunity is a simple donation sponsorship. For $50, a business or individual can donate to Atlantic RAGBRAI and have their name listed on the Atlantic RAGBRAI website.

Atlantic will host RAGBRAI Sunday, July 21st. To be involved as a volunteer or for a complete list of sponsorships and benefits, visit www.atlanticragbrai.com or contact Nick Harris at nickh@brockerkarns.com or Kipp Harris at kipph@brockerkarns.com.
