Mark calendars for early morning flights Sept. 5 - 7

The internationally renowned Great Reno Balloon Race will paint the Reno skyline again Sept. 5, 6 and 7, 2008 at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park.

What began with just 20 balloons in 1982 has grown to showcase more than 100 balloons and pilots from as far away as Auckland, New Zealand. On average, 140,000 spectators from all over the world come to share in the wonder of this three-day event.


Sponsors
Those who sign up as a sponsor before March 1, 2008 will receive $100 off the sponsorship fee, two tickets to the first annual Great Reno Balloon Race Champagne Tasting in March, logo or name recognition as an early sponsor in the Balloon Race e-newsletter and a commemorative Balloon Race gift basket.

In addition to providing vital support for a non-profit event, sponsorships are also the only way to fly during the event and range in price depending on benefits. Many businesses use event sponsorships as an employee relations program, VIP client hosting opportunity and community outreach.
