2013 Sponsorship Information




 
 
Dear Potential Sponsor;

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to present this exciting event to you. 

As you may be aware, the condition of the waterways on Cape Cod has degraded considerably over the past 20 or so years.  The population has exploded and the septic systems we all use to treat our wastewater have been woefully inadequate to handle all of the nitrogen and nutrients that have impacted our environment.  We, at Three Bays Preservation, together with Stand Up and Paddle Cape Cod, sought to find a way to bring this situation to the forefront and allow the public to see firsthand how bad the situation has become.  Two years ago we started our campaign “One way or another, we will get you to the water”.  We strongly feel that if enough people actually get out onto the water and experience it on their own terms; they will understand what we are trying to say.  Our mission has always been, since 1996, to “preserve, maintain, protect and enhance the aquatic environment and related eco-systems of the Three Bay estuary of West Bay, Cotuit Bay, North Bay and environs in Barnstable County, Cape Cod, MA.”  Thus, we bring the public out “onto the water” to see for themselves by conducting 2 Paddle events, a Bayside Explorers program, and an Eco-Adventure Tour of the Three Bays.

This sponsorship package contains two opportunities for you to become part of the solution.  By raising public awareness, solutions can ensue: 

    • On Thursday, July 18, 2013 in the evening, we will be holding a fun-filled family event at Dowses Beach in Osterville.  This is an opportunity for the entire family to get out onto the water and learn the fun sport of Stand-Up Paddleboarding or kayaking.
     
    • And on Saturday, September 21, 2013, we are sponsoring the third annual RACE Cape Cod from Ropes Beach in Cotuit.  This race is for anyone who wants to race around the island to support Three Bays Preservation and the work we do.  There are various classes and age levels.  In the past two years of racing, we have had participants attend from all over New England

      Won’t you please consider being “part of the solution”?
       

      With great appreciation;

      Our sponsorship information:
       
      As a sponsor of this annual competitive aquatic event, your participation will be publicized and promoted to thousands of residents and visitors on Cape Cod in a program to create awareness and support for the endangered waterways known as Barnstable's Three Bays.
       
      As a corporate sponsor, with product presence, or as a "friend", there are valuable ways to showcase your company, brand, or product in publicity and at the events during RACE Cape Cod.
       
      There are several ways to participate.  We invite you to review these sponsorship opportunities in our "Call to Arms" to paddlers, as we search for the "Best on Cape Cod".
