Apex Kennels is located in Big Lake, Alaska and is home to 70 of the happiest race driven sled dogs in the world. It is also home to Iditarod and Yukon Quest musher, Jake Berkowitz, who strives to set the standard for dog racing both on and off the trail.

At Apex Kennels, we believe the only way to succeed in this sport is to give our athletes (the dogs) everything at our disposal to succeed. Jake has proven this philosophy, becoming one of only five mushers to finish with all 16 dogs in harness during the 40-year history of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Along with making sure our athletes receive the absolute best care, we are also determined to be at the top of the mushing world. The race results of the past two seasons show that Apex Kennel is making a name for itself. In 2011 Jake won three major sled dog races across the state of Alaska. One of those victories came in the infamously tough Copper Basin 300. Not only were the dogs driven to a victory, they also set a new record for the CB 300. In 2012, Jake and his team won the Knik 200 and finished 4th place as Rookie of the Year in the International sled dog race, the Yukon Quest.

Jake, 26, was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From a very young age he developed a love for dogs and the outdoors. Jake spent many summers in the North Woods of Minnesota exploring and guiding whitewater canoe and backpacking expeditions with the YMCA.

After a brief stint at Colorado University in Boulder, he decided to venture to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to guide sled dog trips and train for the Iditarod. Jake completed his first Iditarod in 2008 at age 22. This instilled in him the love for racing and Alaska. In 2009 Jake moved to the Last Frontier and completed that year’s Iditarod with all 16 dogs.

The forward progression continued when Jake built Apex Kennels in Big Lake in 2010. In the off-season, Jake gives dog sled rides at the Alaska Native Heritage Center for 2011 Iditarod Champion, John Baker. Jake is also working on a paramedic degree at University of Alaska.

Being a competitive musher takes many things, and help via sponsors is one of those necessary items. The success of our racing seasons are only made possible because of a few business’s that took a chance on us and helped us reach our potential. We sincerely hope you will choose to sponsor Jake Berkowitz and Apex Kennels for the 2012-2013 racing season.

No matter the amount, all sponsors will be recognized. However, there are opportunities, based on level of contribution, for individuals and businesses to have their names or logos placed on Apex Kennels gear—sleds, dog jackets, vehicles and musher clothing. We believe in working directly with you to bring attention to your business and help you benefit from being a part of our sponsorship team. Further information is attached in this packet.

Please give sponsorship of Apex Kennels some thought. Of all the mushers, Jake will make you proud to support him and his dog team as they continue to represent the great community of Alaska in all races and of course “The Last Great Race on Earth.”
