We're thrilled to showcase a couple of permanent puzzle pieces on our banner for the September event, courtesy of generous supporters. These special pieces will forever honor loved ones. If you'd like to secure a permanent placement on our banner like these, please reach out to Lynette or respond to this post. The cost for this meaningful sponsorship is $250. Anyone can be a part of this wonderful tribute, not just businesses. While we appreciate business sponsors and their logos, our primary focus is on celebrating cherished memories. Lynette is happy to assist with design needs, though she humbly admits she's not a professional. The motorcycle car tribute cruise event requires a $25 entry fee, which includes a puzzle piece outline that you can personalize with a permanent marker for your loved one. Additional puzzle pieces can be purchased at the event for just five dollars each.
