The 18th Annual Hiawatha Classic is just a couple weeks away, which means time is running out for those who want to sponsor the ride.
Organizer Mary Laborde says this year, there are several options to help out.
“We offer (several) sponsorship levels, starting at $250 and that will get your company logo on the commemorative t-shirts, as well as the ride registration brochure. The $100 sponsorship level will get your company or family name on the t-shirts, as well as the ride brochure.”
New this year is the “In Memory Of” sponsorship, which Laborde says they’re excited to offer.
“I was originally approached by Karen Kline, wife of one of the original Hiawatha Classic committee members – Jim Kline, she asked if she could make a donation of this kind for this particular ride because her husband was so passionate about it. So I checked with my committee and we all agree unanimously that that would be a great way to raise funds, and honor those people that we’ve lost.”
Those interested in sponsoring the ride can contact Laborde at 979-6983 or stop by the McCreary Community Building.
