Sponsorship
Listed below are a few of our sponsorships available. Please contact us if you're interested in becoming a sponsor.

Lead Dog Sponsorship
The lead dog sponsorship ensures Iron Pearls 2006 Iditarod team makes it to the starting line on 4th Avenue, healthy, conditioned and ready to race. There are many miles of training between September and March. Funds will go towards the race teams vaccinations, race dog food, dog truck gas, Iditarod food drops and race gear.

Lead dog sponsors are invited to go along on a half hour dog sled ride, a tour of the kennel, a picture of Jessica and her team, Iron Pearl neck warmer, name or business on the dog truck and race websites, and a post race journal to give you what really happened out there.

Lead Dog Sponsorship - $2000 and Above

Swing Dog Sponsorship
Iron Pearl Kennels has many other plans than the Iditarod. Each year we plan to bring the young dogs to races. This helps them to get used to the race excitement. We try for two hundred and three hundred mile races. There are also many kennel, ATV and sled repairs to be done before the Iditarod, veterinarian services and so much more.

Iron Pearl Kennels sponsors are welcome to a kennel tour in Two Rivers, Alaska. They will receive an Iron Pearl Kennels neck warmer, a picture of Jessica and her dogs, your name or your business name on all race biographies and a post race journal to give what really happened out there.

Swing Dog Sponsorship - $1000-$1900


Team Dog Sponsorship
Team Dog sponsor funds go towards maintaining the rest of the kennel. The up and coming stars in the Kennel (puppies) need vaccinations, bedding and dog food. Kennel repairs need to be made throughout the year.
