Event Sponsorship
Outlined in our Getting Involved brochure, our event sponsorship levels are available for companies and private donors to choose from. Ranging from Title Sponsorship to Supporting Sponsorship we include generous sponsor benefits and creative ways to market our sponsors and acknowledge their involvement in our event.
In addition to our standard sponsorship levels we also offer specialized sponsorship opportunities for various areas of our event. For example some of our specialized sponsorship areas include: Car Corral, Vendor Row, Saturday Banquet, Driver & VIP Hospitality Tent, Golf Cart, Auction, Sunday Breakfast, Driver’s Social, and more! These sponsorship levels also include generous sponsor benefits and creative marketing and acknowledgement.

Program Sponsorship
Would you like to advertise your business in our event program? Become a program sponsor (formerly called program ads). Our full color program (circulation 4000) is sold over race weekend to spectators, distributed to all drivers, provided to sponsors, media, and other VIPs. This is a great way to show your support for Seattle Children’s Hospital while also sharing your business.

Checkered Flag Club
In 1999, the Children’s Checkered Flag Club was created to encourage racing enthusiasts and hospital supporters to make a tax-deductible gift of $1,000 or more to Seattle Children’s. Thanks to the generous Checkered Flag Club donors, in 2014 we raised more than $34,000. The Children’s Checkered Flag Club Champions (donations of $10,000 or more) raised more than $140,000. Funds from the Checkered Flag Clubs are direct donations to Seattle Children’s.
If you are interested in joining the checkered flag club more information can be found on this invitation letter: 2017 Checkered Flag Club Letter
In-Kind Donations
The Pacific Northwest Historics weekend has become famous not only for its racing, but also because of its hospitality. In-kind donations of food, supplies, party equipment, as well as services such as graphic design, printing, advertising, and cellular phones have been donated to the event each year. These donations contribute to the reduction of overhead costs and allow the Guild to make a larger donation to Seattle Children’s
Vendors
With more than 5,000 spectators attending our event annually, in addition to the hundreds of drivers, crew and volunteers being a vendor at the PNW Historics is an excellent way to showcase your company and your products and/or services on Vendor Row. Our vendor spaces are leased for the entire event weekend, with sizes ranging from 10′ x 10′ up to just about any imaginable size! We can provide tent set-ups or simply space only based on your needs. We offer stellar vendor service, from frequently checking in with you to complimentary tickets to our private Saturday barbeque and Sunday breakfast – Our vendors come back year after year because our vendor services are far above those of other local events. Vendor row is also prime location for marketing your business because in order to reach concession stands, beer gardens, the paddock, pace cars, and several prime vantage points to watch the racing spectators and VIPs must pass through vendor row, affording you the opportunity to introduce yourself to everyone! To reserve your vendor space please complete our Vendor Form (2015 vendor form will be sent ASAP), or submit an inquiry so our vendor chair can contact you to tell you more and answer your questions.

Car Corral
Local car clubs and individual car owners all jump at the opportunity to participate in our annual car corral. With about 250 parking spaces available, our car corral sells out annually. Located just inside the entrance gates, the car corral is the first place spectators visit when they arrive. Located trackside, along the straightaway car corral participants love this prime location to display their car!
If interested in the Car Corral please fill out: Car Corral Registration Form
