2015-2016 University of Arizona Sponsorship Package

May 26, 2015

University of Arizona Cycling

Student Recreation Center 1400 E 6th Street

Tucson, AZ 85721 Dear Cycling Team Sponsor:

Since 1984 we have promoted cycling and professionally represented our sponsors at events across the

southwest and the nation. Beyond rider, we aim to provide an environment which fosters academic success, community engagement, and lifelong friendships. With the support of our alumni and sponsors, our team will continue to grow, thrive, and succeed. Sponsorships help cover the cost of running a sports

team which competes on the local, regional, and national levels. Our members contribute volunteer hours and pay annual dues and are responsible for their own equipment, clothing, and travel. However,

we strive to defray the cost of travelling to competition as much as possible. UA Cycling does receive some support from the University of Arizona- typically less than 5% of our budget.

We maintain a roster of over 75 members with a variety of cycling interests. In 2014-15 we were involved in several community projects including working on the Tucson Velodrome project proposal, supporting

the Tucson Bicycle Ranch development, attending tutoring sessions at El Grupo Youth Cycling, and supporting local charity rides such as El Tour de Tucson. The team believes in giving back to the community and works hard to find projects to support. Our mission is to promote bicycles for sport,

recreation, and transportation while supporting a national caliber race team.

Thanks to our efforts on and off the bike, the team was named the 2014 Collegiate Club of the year by USA Cycling. We have also been recognized as an emerging varsity program. We will join CU-Boulder as one of two Division 1 schools with a program working to achieve varsity status. Building towards

varsity status requires us to meet several requirements such as working with a coach, attending multip le nationals, covering entry fees and travel to races, and eventually offering scholarships. As you can see, it

requires a substantial amount of capital to obtain varsity status. However, we believe we can offer an unparalleled experience for riders at a top ranked university.

Please review our sponsorship package and the opportunities that partnering with our nationally recognized organization can provide. Beyond providing the perks of exposure on our jerseys and social

media, we look to actively engage with our supporters through fun rides, promotion at events and on campus, and other forms of involvement. We welcome sponsors to come to our meetings and talk about their company as well. By supporting UA Cycling you are building a strong connection with a highly

educated group- chances are your support will result in a lifelong customer or a future employee! We invite you to join us in our goal to create the best collegiate cycling team in the nation.

Sincerely,

Joey Iuliano- UA Cycling President

Team Bios The following bios highlight just a few members of our outstanding organization!

Sarah Posner

Sarah is a transfer from Northern Arizona University. She came to the University of Arizona to experience the desert and transfer her

mountain biking skills to the road. Sarah’s upbeat personality keeps race weekends and training rides lively. Don’t let her friendliness fool you- she is a top notch mountain biker and quickly learning the ropes

on the road. Sarah is a junior and majoring in environmental sciences.

David Carlson David is equally comfortable on a road or mountain bike and his results

show it. He nearly swept every race in the 2013 mountain bike schedule and carried on to the road season where he consistently finished on the podium. Because of his sporting excellence and his humble nature off the

bike, David was awarded Sportsman of the Year by UA’s Rec Sports. David is a graduate student pursing his PhD in optical sciences.

David Greif The “Second David”, Greif is a junior with an enormous amount of talent on the road and in cyclocross. His first

season of cyclocross saw him on the podium countless times. On the road, he won the 2015 omnium with several commanding victories along the way. When he isn’t out

riding, he is brainstorming ideas for recruiting new members or getting new sponsors. David is committed to

seeing the team grow and succeed and loves working with new members. He is majoring in engineering.

Allison Alterman

Allison is a fierce competitor who loves road biking and is exploring track racing. Allison joined the team half way through the spring

season in 2013 and was able to qualify for nationals in just a few weeks- a testament to her strength on the bike. In 2014 she committed to a strong training plan which paid off with her winning the SWCCC

division 1 women’s omnium. Allison enjoys writing and keeps the team’s website and social media up to do date. She is a senior majoring

in creative writing.

Joey Iuliano Joey is a second year graduate student at the University of Arizona. He

raced for Purdue University for 6 years prior to coming to UA, and

believes wholeheartedly that collegiate cycling is an excellent way to

start a lifelong healthy addiction to cycling. Joey’s talents are being put

to good use and as he is currently our president, conference director for

the southwest, and vice president for the Arizona Bicycle Racing

Association. He loves mentoring new riders and helping them develop

into successful racers. Joey races road and dabbles in cyclocross.

Shelby Hoglund Shelby loves all things related to sustainability and bikes. She enjoys riding,

racing, and just exploring the Tucson area by bicycle, and most importantly, she loves getting other people hooked on bikes. She is passionate about casual riding and helps organize weekly strolls around the university and

surrounding neighborhoods. Shelby is a senior majoring in environmental sciences.

Katie Emory If it involves a bicycle- Katie is excited about it! She joined UA Cycling new

to the sport and jumped right in doing mountain, cyclocross, and road. While she enjoys racing, she enjoys the social aspect of the team more. Katie is one of the team’s social coordinators and makes sure everyone has fun at events!

2015-16 Goals UA Cycling is looking to build upon a very successful 2014-15 season and to continue the team’s dominance of the Southwest

Collegiate Cycling Conference. We also are aiming to win the Men’s A and Women’s A individual omniums as well as the team omnium

across all three disciplines. On the national level, we’ll be sending riders to nationals in West Virginia for mountain bikes and Asheville, NC for cyclocross and road. Specifically, the team is

looking to place in the top ten at each event and to podium in the team time trial at road nationals.

Starting in 2015, UA Cycling has been recognized as an emerging varsity team by USA Cycling.

While cycling is not an NCAA sport, USA Cycling recognizes teams with a high level of organization and monetary support as varsity programs. We feel

reaching this level will give us an advantage over other schools in recruiting because riders will be

attending a world class university with unparalleled riding. We believe offering scholarships to riders will help open the doors to an

education and riding experience previously not possible for countless juniors.

Furthermore, UA Cycling is committed to our community. In 2015

we are looking to foster our relationship with local junior teams

with tutoring and skill clinics, provide more volunteers for the Ride for Reading program, and host more

campus events promoting cycling in everyday life. We do more than race

bikes and we want to give back to the community and show others how to love bikes too!
