SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
IMAGINE spending your life alone, confined to a 5’x5’x7’steel cage. Now, imagine running free on a three-acre island complete with palm trees, hills, and climbing structures that allow you to play, visit with friends, or find a quiet corner to relax, bask in the sun, or curl up in the shade. This is what life is like for more than 250 rescued chimpanzees residing at Save the Chimps. You can help support the chimps by being a part of Save the Chimps 2016 Chimpathon!
CHIMPATHON is a 16 km (9.94 mile) race that begins and ends at the St. Lucie County Fairgrounds, with one lap around Save the Chimps’ Sanctuary; where racers will be able to see and hear the chimpanzees on their island homes. There is no other race like it in the world! The event will attract athletes from around the nation. While waiting for the racers to finish the course, spectators and supporters will enjoy festivities at the Fairgrounds – including music, food, and exhibits that promote a healthy lifestyle.
SAVE THE CHIMPS is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing permanent sanctuary for the lifelong care of more than 250 chimpanzees rescued from laboratories, the entertainment industry, and the pet trade. Save the Chimps, located in Fort Pierce, Florida, is the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world.
EVENT SPONSORSHIP allows Save the Chimps to educate and inspire Chimpathon participants and spectators to help support the lives of more than 250 rescued chimpanzees. Your sponsorship will help provide these amazing beings with the dignified and peaceful retirement they deserve. Join other regional and national companies as a sponsor of Save the Chimps’ Chimpathon on April 17, 2016. Levels and benefits of sponsorship are attached.
Thank you for your consideration.
