Put your name on the parade
One of the most photographed days in Davis, a marketing reach past 100,000 across web, print, TV and social, and a cause that needs no explanation: custom trykes for kids with disabilities. Sponsorship is how the festival stays FREE.
$26,200 raised of $35,000
Your sponsorship is what keeps this festival completely FREE to the public. Net proceeds go to NorCal Trykers and children with disabilities: more than $50,000 raised and 42 custom adaptive trikes since 2019.
Your $1,000 does the work of $7,500
This is not ordinary sponsorship. It is a community-powered multiplier. Your sponsorship unlocks the people, partners and donated resources that make Zombie Bike Parade possible. Volunteers give thousands of hours. Businesses donate products and services. Community partners bring their talents, equipment and energy. We turn every sponsor dollar into far more than we could ever buy with that dollar alone.

You provide the spark. Davis builds the spectacle.
More sponsorship means more attractions, more entertainment, more ridiculous zombie fun, and most importantly more support for NorCal Trykers and more adaptive trikes for children who deserve the freedom and joy of riding.

No cash? Bring what you have got. Some of the best parts of Zombie Bike Parade do not arrive with a check. They arrive on trucks, in boxes, with extension cords, printing presses, talented people and businesses willing to say, "We can help with that."
Donate products, equipment, printing, professional services, space, or some serious volunteer muscle, and you can help put another piece of the Halloweekend spectacle on the streets of Davis. If it saves us money or helps us make something awesome happen, we want to hear about it.
In-kind partners get recognized too, with visibility on our website, printed materials and social media, plus your own pin on the interactive Davis Zombie Outbreak Map.
Got something the zombies need? Let us make a deal.
It is not a sponsorship tier and there is no form for it, because every one of these is different. Tell Aaron Wedra what you have in mind: smartzgraphics@yahoo.com, 530-574-7306, or through the contact page.

In good company
Jim and Holly Moen asked that their sponsorship bring attention to food security in Yolo County instead of the usual marketing benefits. If a cause matters to you, we welcome sponsoring in its honor too.
