Become A Sponsor
Opportunities are available to become part of the next leg of this incredible journey of the Hawaiian Airlines Liberty Challenge and provide commercial value to all of our partners.
Sponsorship and Strategic Partnerships provide an opportunity for companies and individuals to align themselves with a growing international sport that brings individuals of many ages, backgrounds and origins together in ways that form lifetime bonds, fostering a culture of perpetuation and growth.
There are many opportunities for corporate sponsorships and exposure at the Liberty Challenge. These include the Liberty Festival which attracts thousands of spectators, the Athlete Village where hundreds of the best athletes and their support teams from around the world congregate, the Family Tent where children learn about culture and the sport, our Liberty Challenge Film featuring the most current documentaries about the waters that surround us, the exciting Liberty Luau where the athletes and their guests celebrate their achievements, and so much more.
The outline below serves as a foundation for discussion with interested parties from which to create customized and comprehensive benefits packages. If you or your company are interested in supporting the Hawaiian Airlines Liberty Challenge, please email our sponsorship team.
