Des Plaines River Canoe Marathon:
May 20, 2012.
Sponsor a Watershed sign! We are looking for sponsors to help us create Watershed signs for the 5 tributaries leading into the Des Plaines River along the route.
Each sign is $80 and will include your company logo for as many years as we can use them. We will also publish a postcard with information to be passed on to the canoeists. This is a great opportunity to highlight local businesses and watersheds and the great work happening along the river.
For more information on the marathon or to register: http://www.canoemarathon.com
If you would like to sponsor a sign contact UDPREP Coordinator, Nancy Schumm at coordinator@upperdesplainesriver.org, or (847)975-8391
