the Tour Go beyond donation and become a partner of the Tour of
Americas More implicating than an anonymous donation, the partnership
represents much more than a simple financial help. To our eyes it is someone who
is willing to show its agreement with our environmental ideal. In that sense,
we would like to associate as much people as possible who share our ecological
sensibilities. You own a business and you want to help us achieve our project?
We have very diverse needs and everyone can find a way to help, but be careful
you have to show "green paw". Considering our project's mission, we
don't associate with just any company. The sponsorship means that we become a
publicity vehicle for our partner. Therefore, the interests and activities of
our sponsor must be in accordance with the purpose of our project. Our
criterias
- You share our environmental values
- Your activities
are not harmful for the environment
- You are not involved in activities
opposite to social justice principles
The three faces of sponsorship
-- Money: you simply make a sound money sponsorship - Materiel:
give us equipment for free or with discount. We need all kinds of equipment for
the accomplishment of the tour but also before, during our fund raising campaign. -
Services: before, during or even after the Tour, you can give us access
to free or discounted services, like lodging, communications, consulting, printing,
bike repair, photo processing.
What you get in return :
- Mention of your name and or logo and a link on our web site - Publicity
through our banderols, traveling shirts or equipment before, during and after
the tour which will last three years - An image linked with the protection
of the environment - And tax receipts on request If you're interested
