Bridge Day Behind the Scenes: Our Sponsors

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

One unique group that comes together behind the scenes to help make Bridge Day a success is its sponsors. In recent years, Subaru, Red Bull, Geico, Stanley, BB&T and many others have made a commitment to help host the event.

Subaru Folks Having Fun on Bridge Day 2011

Many folks put in months of hard work planning every detail of the day, Bridge Day workers and sponsors alike.

Bridge Day sponsors are responsible for many of the extra activities that take place around the event.  Into the Gorge shuttles are courtesy of Hometown Subaru, and the Down Under Tours were sponsored by Glade Springs in 2011. The Oak Hill and Fayetteville Rotary Clubs host Taste of Bridge Day, which is quickly becoming a weekend favorite.

Bridge Day sponsors are in the middle of all the action, helping plan the event and being part of a successful day on the Bridge.

If you’re interested in being a Bridge Day sponsor, now is the time to get involved.  The Bridge Day team works with potential sponsors to help them figure out how they can get the most out of their sponsorship.

5 Reasons Why Subaru Rocks

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Hey, guess what?

Subaru is the flagship sponsor for Bridge Day West Virginia 2010.

Don't try this at home.

Don't try this at home.

Right.  Subaru.  The folks that did this.  And built this.

How cool is that?  Wait, wait… I know the answer…  VERY cool.  Sorry, but Subys flat out rock.  They run forever, go anywhere, look cool, and did I mention they run forever (almost)?

It’s really a perfect fit for Bridge Day, too.  They’re not hugely popular in New York and L.A., but hey, neither are we.  That’s okay; people in the mountains know what works (I’m kind of a fan, if you haven’t guessed).

Here’s a list of 5 reasons why Subaru rocks:

1. Attitude Or really, I should say non-attitude; they’re the opposite of showing off.  Pretty good on the fuel consumption, but more than that, it’s a feeling of independence.  That’s it: Subaru drivers are independent.

2. Looks They’re cool looking, but, again, not showy.  Lots of room for kids, dogs, parachutes, rope, bikes, skis, snowboards, skateboards, inflatable pool toys, apples, and kayaks.

3. Green-i-ness Every Subaru made comes for a factory that produces ZERO landfill waste.  And the Suby plant in Indiana was named… wait for it… a wildlife habitat.  Clearly, they’re on to something that resonates with their target market (read: you).

4. Performance Did you watch those video links?  These things can climb trees.  Nothing better for winter in the Appalachian high country than a dependable four wheel drives that’s all that under the hood.

5. Community Subaru sponsors all kinds of cool organizations, like the National Ski Patrol, the Professional Ski Instructors of America, and the International Mountain Biking Association Trail Care Crew.  And, y’know, us.

Hey, looks like Bridge Day is in pretty good company.  Make sure you stop by the Subaru booth to say hi.  They’re going to have a ton of swag to give out, and some great discounts on new cars (c’mon, you know you want one).

So what about you?  Love your Subaru?  Let us know in the comments.
