"In comparison to other rides I have done over the past few years the Rolling the River Ride was really amazing! The ride was extremely well organized and the people at the stops were so friendly, warm and helpful...they truly made the experience a great one and we will definitely be signing up again this year.." - Lisa Cooper

We’ve put together a wonderful weekend of bicycling, canoeing, kayaking and an environmental expo to showcase sponsors.

Participation in the Rolling on the River ride grew by more than 200% in 2007, there were 70+ sponsors and partners. Honorary co-chairs in 2007 were Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn and Leading House Republican Tom Cross.

Nationally known cyclist and coach Robbie Ventura co-sponsored and participated. Partners included Chicago Wilderness and Chicagoland Bicycle Federation.

This year we invite you to join us as a sponsor of this rapidly growing, family friendly cycling event. ROLLING ON THE RIVER 2008 Lead Sponsorship opportunities are now available ranging from $3,000 to $12,000+.

Volunteers and in-kind donations of products and services are welcomed as well.

We Make it Easy to be Green

Our event provides immediate visibility to your company as a “green” brand. Yet you will not have to align yourself with a particular environmental issue or cause. Our tagline makes it clear that we are raising funds to “protect and improve Illinois’ environment.”

This Ride for the Environment supports three statewide charities that collectively have invested more than 100 years in protecting and improving Ilinois’ Environment:

These charities were pre-screened and selected as beneficiaries by the event’s underwriter, a nationally known funder of the environment: Lumpkin Family Foundation (lumpkinfoundation.org).

Enhance your presence by participating in our Environmental Expo & Marketplace.

Sponsor benefits at the higher levels will include ads and eblasts to our participants, logo and link on the event home page scroll, sponsor page, banners, as well as naming opportunities (such as volunteer sponsor, food sponsor, beverage sponsor, goody bag sponsors, etc).
