Atlantic Rowing Race Sponsors
May 01, 2010
A huge part of any expedition or adventure is funding and securing sponsorship. It was a long journey to get the sponsorship we required to take part in the race and to raise money for our charity of choice so we are extremely grateful to those who supported us. Below is a complete list of sponsors who generously supported Team JCT600 for our Atlantic Rowing Race.
Title Sponsor:
JCT600
A luxury car dealership founded in Bradford, England and has 22 franchises operating from 48 retail outlets across the North of England. JCT600 are the main sponsor of the Bradford Bulls.
Without the financial support and fundrasing efforts of JCT600 and their staff we would not have been able to fulfil our dream of rowing across the Atlantic and raising vital funds for We are Macmillan Cancer Support. Securing sponsorship was by far the hardest part of our journey and JCT600 were crucial in helping us reach Antigua.
Public Relations:
