Sponsor, Support & Advertise the HOH

We invite you to be a sponsor, a supporter or an advertiser in support of The 24th Annual Head of the Hudson Regatta Saturday, September 25, 2010

As we have done for the past several years, we are inviting businesses and individuals to be sponsors of this year's Head of the Hudson. Our goal is to name a sponsor for every race event. We are offering three levels of sponsorship - Trophy Level, Medal Level and Ribbon Level. At each level, we will give recognition to our contributors in the form of various sponsor benefits.

By sponsoring a race at Head of the Hudson, your name will be seen by the competing rowers, their coaches, their families and friends, the race officials, the various organizations that provide support assistance for the regatta and the other individuals and businesses that have also chosen to sponsor races and support the regatta. Together, these people come from the Capital District, other regions of New York State and several other states as well.
