Checkpoint Sponsorship Program

FORT KENT, MAINE
Dogs per team: 8 to 12
Minimum total layovers: 14:00:00

Sponsor a checkpoint of the Can-Am 250! Bob and Rhonda will be on the road with the dogs a lot between October and the start of Can-Am. This year, training is going to be harder on all of us, including the wallet. Not only has the price of gas gone up, but we have to purchase duplicates of various checkpoint supplies for the drop bags Bob will be living out of at Portage, Rocky Brook, Maibec and Allagash.

Start	CHECKPOINTS									Finish
FORT KENT	69.7 mi	PORTAGE	48 mi	ROCKY BROOK	27.8 mi	MAIBEC	55.8 mi	ALLAGASH	43.3 mi	FORT KENT

Your sponsorship will help to re-fuel the team on one leg of their journey.

Examples of supplies that will be in each of the checkpoint bags:
booties (4 for each dog)
a set of red blinking lights (one for each lead dog)
runner plastic
a few sets of hand warmers
headlamp batteries
meat snacks for the dogs
dry food for the dogs
power bar snacks for the driver
extra pair of socks for the driver
extra pair of underwear for the driver
extra set of glove liners
spare harness
spare gangline sections
liquid heat
liquid refreshment for the driver

For a donation of $25-$250...
-Be named on our website as a sponsor
-Receive a baseball hat featuring our unique logo
-Receive a signed photograph of Bob and Team Mishawum

For a donation of $250+...
-All of the above
-Plus... have your logo prominently displayed on our dog truck.

We cannot guarantee that the team will make it to the finish. Heck, we sure hope to have Allie leading the team into Fort Kent, but this is our first attempt and we also need to be realistic. Regardless of the outcome, all sponsors will receive items as noted above. If you would like your donation to mention a particular checkpoint, no problem. But we figure, you are all likely to pick Allagash!!
