Question by OrangeIdahoDog: How can I find some sort of a sponsor for a cross country bike ride?
I’m working on plans to go coast to coast from Virginia Beach to San Fransisco Bay with my brother, and we were wondering how we could find some sort of a sponsor to help cover the expenses.
We’d probably end up doing it for a charity, possibly Boys and Girls Club of America.

Honestly, you probably need to approach them. Explain to them exactly what you need from them and how you would benefit them. That is how people get their inital sponsors. Also, you can do the classic bake sale, yard sale, donations, etc.

US Hematology & Flow Cytometry Market Future Discussed in New Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) February 28, 2012
Increasing research and commercialization in the field of life sciences such as proteomics, genomics, pharmacogenomics, and stem cell research have resulted in a boosting of high-throughput technologies such as the flow cytometry market. However, several constraints, such as increased equipment cost, are hindering the market growth.
The world hematology market is likely to grow over the forecast period, driven by the development in bench-top high throughput hematology analyzers and in high sensitivity point-of-care (POC) tests. Commercialization of innovative products is also likely to drive the future growth in the market. The US is the biggest market for hematology, contributing around 50% towards the global market share.

Andy Williams, Grand Targhee’s Special Events/ Summer Trails and long time snow biker, was pivotal in paving the way for Grand Targhee to encourage snow biking on the Nordic trails. “After enjoying the mountain bike trails in Rick’s Basin during the summer, I couldn’t help but think that the winter riding would be amazing,” said Williams, “Snow biking provides another opportunity for guests to enjoy nature in the Tetons,” Dave Byers, a local snow bike race organizer and cyclist agrees and recently blogged “I applaud Grand Targhee Resort for their forward thinking and willingness to try something new. As long as snow bikers follow the rules and respect the trails when conditions are soft, I feel as if snow bikers and the Nordic skiers can coexist peacefully on the trails.” The snow bike was created to go where standard “all terrain” bikes flounder. The floatation and traction afforded by large-volume, low-pressure tires can get you over and through otherwise unrideable terrain…sand, mud, wet rocks and roots, ice and many kinds of snow. The snow bike is purpose built for snow and sand with wide, high flotation tires that enable travel on a variety of low pressure surfaces. Huge tires make for a comfy ride and distribute weight for FLOAT and TRACTION IN THE SNOW.

Best answer:
Answer by curious dad
start by going to a bike shop, look around, ask questions, I am a road cyclist.. gotta pick the bike that is right for you and how you ride… there are carbon fiber, very light.. but brittle… aluminum.. light ..titanium, light as aluminum but stronger, .. and steel frames.. there are many brands, many styles.. you need to match the style of bike to what you intend to ride.. off road bikes… gary fisher bikes look pretty good, might even look into a custom made bike also, pricey though. gotta match what you can afford to what you want, might look at a few cycling magazines too.

A hilarious and essential illustrated field guide that breaks down the tribes of the bicycling community: from the spandex-clad weekend warriors to the hipsters on street bikes who love to laugh at each other (and themselves) Anyone who rides a bike knows the bicycling world is made up of tribes. From tattooed messengers to pretty urban hipsters to grouchy shop owners, they may look like they live on different planets, but they are united by their abiding love of bikes—and often their total disdain of other members of this insular world. Bike Tribes is the Preppy Handbook of bicycling, replete with one-of-a-kind illustrations that taxonomize the special habits, clothing, preferences, and predilections of cyclists.

Chicago Entrepreneur Vivian Valtas Schmidt Donates 15 Bikes to Area Children
CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) February 07, 2012
While children around the world were writing letters to Santa, expressing their Christmas wishes, a group of Chicago schoolchildren sent a special plea to Vivian Valtas Schmidt, entrepreneur and author of Stiletto 911.
For the second year in a row, Valtas Schmidt sponsored the “12 Days of Christmas Bicycle Essay Contest”. She sent a letter to Chicago Public Schools administrators, letting them know that she wanted to donate 12 bikes to students in need. She asked that teachers share her offer with the youngsters and asked that they write an essay explaining why they wanted a bike.
Shortly before Christmas, she made this dream come true for 15—not just 12—Chicago children.
“There were so many heartfelt letters that I couldn’t limit the bikes to 12,” explains Valtas Schmidt, owner of the Vivian Valtas State Farm Agency in Chicago and author of the recently published self-help/novel,“Stiletto 911: The Makeover Manifesto”. She is also active with the Valentine Boys and Girls Club in Chicago.
One 8 year-old wrote on behalf of his 15 year-old brother. The teen’s bike had been stolen, so the boy wrote, “he really wants one for Christmas so I decided to write this paper for my brother because I love him and he takes very good care of me. My brother is the kindest brother in the whole wide world.”
As the daughter of a Greek immigrant, Valtas Schmidt knows what life is like when money is scarce. She and her sisters lived on second-hand clothes, and Valtas Schmidt started making extra money from the time she turned seven, selling pumpkins at Halloween and helping her father with his snowplowing business at night. They never owned a new bike until the owner of the local bike shop showed up at their home one day and gave them one from an anonymous donor. He explained that the man paid for the shop owner to choose a deserving family each month to receive the bike.
Twenty years later, Valtas Schmidt tracked down her benefactor and the two became friends. He mentored her as she started her first insurance agency—and beyond. When he passed away, Valtas Schmidt decided to honor his memory by continuing his generosity. She started the “Old Bikeman Award”, and last year expanded her giving with the “12 Days of Christmas Bicycle Essay Contest”.
For more information on the bike giveaways, contact Vivian Valtas Schmidt at (312) 835-1908.
