Team Aurora - Proposal
Team Aurora - Proposal
Team Aurora is an amateur cycling team whose members aim to raise the
profile of women in cycling. Named after the ancient Roman Goddess of
dawn, the team train early in the morning around Canberra. Specifically
Team Aurora aims to bridge the gap between recreational cycling and
racing, providing an atmosphere of challenging training, friendly
competition and team racing to women of varying ages and experiences.
Our team members have achieved great individual success in their chosen
sports. Team Aurora has former Australian and State representatives (in
Mountain Biking and Triathlon), place winners in the 2005 Tour de Femme,
the winners of the women’s team of four in the Sri Chinmoy Multi Sport
race in 2006 amongst various individuals who were successful in Novice
and Age Group Triathlons.
Along with two training rides a week, Team Aurora plan to enter riders into
the following events:
• Canberra Cycling Summer Criterium Series – January to March 2007
Sponsorship
In order to formalise the ‘look and feel’ of the team, we are seeking
financial support to help purchase team uniforms for members. The
uniforms will provide a visible profile for the team during training and
competition, and will also provide a platform from which our financial
sponsors can display their logos.
At this stage of development (and because the 2007 racing calendar is yet
to be finalised), we are primarily seeking to raise approximately $3000 in
order to procure the uniforms (for short-sleeved jerseys and windproof
vests).
Sponsorship Benefits
• Your company name and/or logo professionally printed out the team
uniform. The uniform will be worn during training and at
competitions, providing advertising for your organisation.
Team Members
The team consists of a group of local Canberra riders, who all are
members of local ACT cycling clubs. Our riders come from a variety of
backgrounds and experiences, but have the common goal of cycling and
training together as a Women’s competitive team. A brief introduction for
each of our team members is provided below.
