Black Canyon Donkey Derby Sponsorship

Thanks to our amazing sponsors, we can hold the 6th annual “burro race” in Black Canyon City, AZ.  This is a wonderful event that gets people and their donkeys out on the trails and exercising in the beautiful state of Arizona. Many of the burros who participate in these events were once neglected and rescued donkeys, or BLM burros who were living a life in holding pens.  Events like this help to not only bring awareness to how incredible these animals truly are, but is also a great way to bring communities together.  This year’s race is going to be bigger and better than ever!  Being held at the Deep Canyon Ranch, it will be a full weekend of fun! Food trucks, vendors, games, kids’ activities, as well as a costume contest, an in-hand obstacle course, and the Race (3, 6, and 9-mile courses).  Your sponsorship will provide awards, race medals, t-shirts, and advertising funds to help us continue to promote these burro community events. We do this event as a non-profit and can provide a tax ID for you. 

Here’s what is included with your sponsorship:

Platinum Sponsorship $500

-          Burro photo opportunities at your business location. We will bring 2 burros (donkeys) to take pictures with you at your business. Pictures are used on social media to promote your business and the race, and will also be provided for you to use as you wish.

-          Your business name printed on the backs of race t-shirts 

-          If you have a banner, we will hang it at our event for all 3 days 

Gold Sponsorship $250 

-          Your business name printed on the backs of race t-shirts 

-          If you have a banner, we will hang it at our event for all 3 days 

Silver Sponsorship $100

Swag Bag Donation Ideas:

On the day of the race, each registered participant will receive a swag bag.  We need local businesses to help donate items that are fun for participants to receive, yet can also help promote your business at the same time! We hope to have around 100+ runners this year! Some ideas of items for swag bags (but not limited to): Bags with your business name, chapstick, sunscreen, water bottles, beer koozies, stickers, bottle openers, funny socks, keychains, reusable grocery bags, hoof pics, brushes, horse treats, human food items, etc.
