Sponsorship

Sponsor us

If your business would be interested in supporting our racing season this coming year, that would be quite wonderful and we would like to promote your business in any way we can. 

Some ideas of what we could do for you are listed below.  We are also very open to taking suggestions from you if you have your own ideas! Please, feel free to contact me if you would like to hear more about our kennel, racing plans, or anything at all. We would be happy to answer any of your questions!

Instead of putting together various levels of sponsorship packages we now offer a bespoke package that can be tailored to a business’ needs and budget.
