| CORPORATE SPONSORS Sponsor the Ride and be involved with a great cause! Here's an opportunity for a good company to get involved with a good cause. As everything donated by individuals will go right to the libraries and scholarships, we are looking for corporate sponsorship to help defray the costs of our ride. We humbly thank you for considering us. We will promote your company through every chance we get and can work with you on promotional ideas. To discuss sponsorship further or learn more about us and our ride, please contact Nicolas Bertsché on +41.79.770.1987 or via email at nicbertsche@yahoo.com. Main Sponsor - CREDIT SUISSE (LONDON) Our main sponsor is Credit Suisse, which is covering more than half of our expenses (Thanks everyone up there!!).
