Company Sponsorships
Due to the size of the event we will be instituting several levels of paid sponsorship. As always, all money raised by participants goes directly to the Charity and all drivers are responsible for paying their own way. All sponsorship fees will go to cover the expenses such as Liability Insurance, and other overhead expenses. Each level of sponsorship is targeted toward various types of corporate sponsors.
| Individual/First Time | Small Business | Subaru Dealership | Corporate | Special Sponsor |
Individual/First Time Vendor Sponsorship
This is aimed at individuals who may be donating prizes from their home based side hustle or first time businesses who have not previously participated in the 48hrs of Tristate. It is a great way to put your toe in the water so to speak and get a feel for what the 48hrs of Tristate is all about.

Small Business Level Sponsorship
This sponsorship level is our most popular and is comprised primarily of auto enthusiast based businesses who serve the Subaru community. The door prizes donated here are sought after by our participants and encourage them to raise more money for our charity. The participants know and love these businesses and always go out of their way to use them before and after the event because of their support for the trip.

Subaru Dealer Level Sponsorship
Over the past few years, we’ve had an increasing number of Subaru dealerships participating as sponsors of the event. We put this package together so that it would be easier for their advertising departments and maximizes the prizes for the participants. Subaru Corporate always pays attention to which dealers are supporting our event and your logo is on the shirts that go to all the top executives at SOA. Most dealers donate gift certificates good for parts/service in $100 denominations.

Special Sponsorships
Two of our Special Sponsorships are “Presented by” and “Closing Dinner provided by”. Often times as the trip planning evolves there is an opportunity for a company or individual to go above and beyond the normal sponsorships we have put together. One year a sponsor picked up the bill on a Go-Karting event for the participants during the trip. Another time a dealer paid for our closing dinner. These special sponsors receive all the benefits of our highest level of Small Business Sponsorship but there is no fee collected directly and no need to provide products for the Door Prize. You also get special placement on the T-shirts as well. Please contact PeterC@48hrs.info for more details on this sponsorship.
