The Great Reno Balloon Race Solicits Community Support
The beloved event issues a call for sponsors
(RENO, Nev.) – Support is still needed to make the 2008 Great Reno Balloon Race take flight. Sponsorship levels are available for businesses and groups of all sizes.
Aside from the highly publicized Major Sponsorships, there are levels for any business or individual to get involved and fly the skies. Businesses can come in at a Corporate Level Sponsorship and families or individuals may participate as a Family Sponsor.
“Besides being the only way to fly during the event, sponsorships are the lifeblood of The Great Reno Balloon Race,” said Balloon Race President, Steve Trounday. “Every balloon that you see on the field this year is there because of a sponsor’s generous support.”
Thanks to the sustained support of generous sponsors, the Balloon Race continues as a free event for its 27th year. The deadline for sponsorship registration is July 1.
