Our 34th Annual Ride-a-Thon on September 22, 2012 will be our main fundraiser and much effort goes into making this event a success. Even now, we are actively seeking sponsors to help offset the costs involved in producing this event. Businesses or individuals can become Ride-a-Thon sponsors. A $500.00 Ride-a-Thon sponsorship entitles an organization to have their name and logo screen-printed on the back of 420 collector tee-shirts that are distributed to Ride-a-Thon participants and volunteers. A banner supplied by the sponsor may be displayed at the event. In addition, the name and logo are printed on all Ride-a-Thon publicity, including over 2000 pledge sheets distributed in the community, and prominently displayed on the KSRP website. KSRP is a nonprofit 4-H organization, so donations are tax deductible. If you know of anyone who may be interested in becoming a Ride-a-Thon sponsor, please contact Gail at 723-5682.
