How to go about getting sponsors

Post by jennifercatsos » Tue Jan 12, 2010 4:45 pm

You seem very experienced in getting sponsorship for your distance hikes, and I was hoping for a bit of advice how to begin. I am thru-hiking the PCT this year, and am looking for sponsorship to help absorb some of the costs, and to help send donations to trails in need. I was curious how you initially contacted companies, and what you offered in return for "sponsorship" (and what this sponsorship entailed).
Thank you for your time.

Good question Jennifer! I've already answered it here. ;)

If you have follow-up questions, please post it under that thread.

Good luck on the PCT! :)
