24 Hour ‘Boat Cruise Sponsorships
About the ‘Boat Cruise
A fun-filled bike ride of teams competing to raise money for early childhood education. Proceeds go to a non-profit, Integrated Community (CIIC), to provide early childhood education services to immigrant children. The purpose is to elevate our entire NW Colorado community through education. Our goal is to raise $100,000.00 for these vital services.
-
Teams of 6 riders pedal a 12 mile course through Steamboat for 24 hours
-
Teams raise money by competing for sponsorships and pledges. The team that raises the most money WINS!
-
Both adults and children are invited to ride and wear costumes. Fun is the focus!
-
Special prizes are awarded to teams and riders that raise the most, have the best team costume, coolest bikes, etc.
Event History
-
In 2017, community members created the 24-Hour ‘Boat Cruise fundraising event to affect change on a local level.
-
Integrated Community was selected as the beneficiary because of its focus on Early Childhood Education (or ECE).
-
Thanks to your generosity, in the last seven years over $330,000 has been raised for CIIC.
-
CIIC used the funds to enhance the learning of the youngest members of our community by providing: reading programs in four counties across NW Colorado, supplying hundreds of books and educational supplies to families, direct education support to those in need, and resources to hire trained personnel to reach more children and families.
Sponsorship Support Opportunities
-
Form a team - to represent your business, organization, neighborhood, friends, or family! Costumes, company logos and banner posting during the race is a great marketing tool to show the community your support.
-
Sponsor a team - many participants need financial help to commit to the $1,000 entry donation. For every team sponsor we will find a team to ride to represent you!
-
Donate - at one of the sponsorship levels, or give in-kind, for the team and individual prizes.
