Great Victorian Bike Ride 2018
Your help needed please.......
If you own a business or know of someone who does and may be interested in sponsoring our
OOPS Great Victorian Bike Ride 2018 Riding tops please pass this on;
Old Orchard Primary School is once again riding high in the Great Victorian Bike Ride. This is our 5th successive year of proud participation. The last 4 years riders have been very grateful to be able to wear matching riding tops, which not only serves as a team feel, but also an extremely important identifier to all.
Approximately 25 riders will be completing the three day ride this year. All of the individual riders have paid for themselves to do the ride. We are soliciting sponsorships from local business for the riding tops that riders will wear for the three days.
The ride itself has thousands of cycles, volunteers and spectators; therefore your logo would be seen by thousands of people. In addition to having your logo on the tops we are willing to advertise your business in our school newsletter for a number of weeks at no additional charge.
Old Orchard Primary school will be able to supply you with a tax invoice for your sponsorship amount.
If your organisation would like to participate in this year’s event as a sponsor, please contact myself by the 10th August 2018.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Jacqui Fulton
