NIKE
We are excited to announce Nike as our main official sponsor for 2019, we have been working closely with the brand to give our participants the best experience possible this summer.
Nike's mission statement is to "bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world." Note the asterisk after "athlete." Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman reportedly added the asterisk, explaining that "if you have a body, you are an athlete." In other words, Nike's goal is to inspire you, whether you're an NFL quarterback or a hobbyist sprinter, or you just want to wear Nike gear as you go about your daily errands.
The company's message of inclusiveness can be taken as encouragement for everyone to be active. Nike has run ad campaigns featuring athletes who are wheelchair-bound and who pursue their passions for sports. From a financial perspective, Nike's mission statement also widens the company's scope to pursue anyone and everyone as a potential customer for its merchandise.

The Mamba Forever Edition celebrates Kobe's lifelong pursuit of victory and legacy and immortalizes him with two unique custom covers honoring the span of his career. For the current generation version of the game, Kobe is shown wearing #8 – from his days as a bold and brash rookie. In the next-generation cover art, he is shown wearing #24, the number he played his final game in: his iconic 60-point performance.
Nando's will be partnering with us on event days the summer to provide that delicious chicken everyone loves.
The Nando’s story started centuries ago, when the Portuguese explorers set sail for the East. The winds of Africa called them ashore and it was there that they were introduced to the African Bird’s Eye Chilli – more commonly known as PERi-PERi. A spice like no other, they used it to create a unique PERi-PERi sauce that put fire in their bellies and ignited passion in their souls.
