DEAR POTENTIAL SPONSOR,
AWESOME BIKER NIGHTS IS A MOTORCYCLE RALLY THAT WAS CONCEIVED, ORGANIZED AND
MANAGED BY A GROUP OF LOCAL RIDERS. ITS MISSION IS TO BRING MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
AND THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER FOR AN EXCITING WEEKEND OF MOTORCYCLE RELATED
EVENTS, WITH ALL PROCEEDS BENEFITING LOCAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.
Since its inception in 2000, the Awesome board has donated $1,000,000 to those
charities. Due to community support and national recognition in numerous motorcycle
magazines, the rally has grown in attendance to as many as 20,000 riders and non-riders
alike, attracting riders from at least 15 states and 5 foreign countries.
Awesome Biker Nights is held annually on the third weekend in June. It has included
three days of outstanding regional and national live concerts, stunt performances, a
poker run through the beautiful countryside, a bike show and vendors, all in the unique
atmosphere of the Downtown District Sioux City.
The rally is organized by a group of a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, along with
hundreds of volunteers, who donate thousands of hours each year to make Awesome
Biker Nights a huge success. However, it takes more than hard work for the event to
grow and increase its contributions to local charities.
to help cover expenses for insurance, security, sanitation, equipment, bands and other
necessary items. If you have been one of our sponsors that have helped us reach the
$1,000,000 donated, we thank you. If you are new to the rally, we thank you for your time
and consideration in looking over our sponsorship packet. We sincerely hope you will
become our partner and support the rally that supports local charities and enhances our
entire community.
Sincerely,
Awesome Biker Nights Board of Directors
