NEWS + EVENTS
One of the great things about being a small business is being, er, "civic"... helping out with organizations and people doing good things....
SPONSORSHIP is the more or less accurate word for this activity.
Some of the groups we are humbly supporting:
Neighborhood Bike Works (fun fact--NBW was co-founded around 1998 by Simon Firth and Michael McGettigan, via the Bicycle Coalition-- as Youth Cycle & Recycle)
Action Aids
Schuylkill River Park Alliance/Runnin' on the River.
Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.
Bicycle Club of Philadelphia.
Bike Philly
St. Mary's Nursery School
Julia R. Masterman School
Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby
Masterman Outdoor Frisbee Organization
Casino Free Philadelphia
American Cancer Society Bike-A-Thon
Parent Infant Center
University of Pennsylvania Library Social
These groups all need your help to make Philadelphia a better, more interesting place to be in. Please visit their websites and consider joining, volunteering or contributing.
thanks

Some tips -- ask early. We like to get on board in time to get ye olde Trophy logo on programs, posters and t-shirts,--so as to selfishly swing as much PR out of our sponsorship as possible!
Come up with some numbers--tell us how many people are coming to your event, how long it lasts, when it started etc.
We generally DO NOT sponsor cross-country charity rides, as there are too many of them and we feel they are not that cost-effective.
We dig sponsoring bike events, especially if they can use non-cash help (see above about our non-trillionaire status). We can provide skilled staff, portable sound systems, writing and PR, and various other things. Writing checks is a bit... suburban-- we prefer helping out in a more personal matter whenever possible.
