Major Sponsorship

Set your company apart, support the best in alternative energy innovation!

As the world sets its focus on the current energy crisis junkyard fabricators and NASA engineers alike are modifying their own vehicles to no longer be dependent on fossil fuels.

These vehicles will compete in a road rally from Berkeley, CA to the Mexican Border. No vehicle may use any petroleum based fuels and all fuel must be scavenged along the route. In this event, gasifiers will compete against bicycles, veggie oil vehicles and solar cars.

By showcasing current alternative fuel technological and innovation, the Escape From Berkeley road rally will demonstrate to the public that solutions to the energy crisis are at our fingertips – now!

Sponsoring Escape From Berkeley will provide your company with unique opportunities to reach a broad audience committed to green technologies. Be a part of the energy revolution by supporting Escape From Berkeley (by any non-petroleum means necessary)!
