sponsorship amount

Posted by hissu at 24th May 2011 at 16:02

After a bit of research and a lot of guesstimate work we have come up with a preliminary budget to cover expenses for the rickshaw run autumn 2011 edition.

(drum rollllll) $9000!!! holy crap! who's going to sponsor that much?

the items included:

vaccinations (cuz i don't want to end up with malaria and an amazing diarrhea)
flights - from bahrain to delhi to meghalaya. then from rajasthan somewhere to bahrain
travel insurance (and probably life)
accomodation for the 3 weeks (inclusive of before & after race)
petrol (heard it wasn't that cheap) and really 8L capacity for the rickshaw?! might need to carry extra gallons with us
visa for india
tech stuff: sim cards, internet usb for updating on progress, cam corder, GPS system
the rickshaw deposit of 1000 GBP
food (we put an allowance of around $2 per day)
rickshaw maintenance

didn't add stuff like first aid kit, flashlights and bungee cords (might use them to pull rickshaw out of ditches and what not)...

Meeting my fellow idiot Mr. T over shisha to figure out how we can sell this to a possible corporate sponsor.

will update once we know a bit more.

cheerio

sad that i am writing this just for myself. no one is reading this, i suppose.
