Hellbenders Sponsors

We look to local Henderson County businesses, organizations and individuals to help us reach our financial goals to ensure our Student Athletes have every chance to get out and ride safely. Without these sponsors financial and in-kind donations we would not be able to do what we do without the support of the community that we live, work and play in.

We currently have 3 levels of supporters (Rocky Ridge, Ridgeline and Hickory Mountain Loop) and each provides a unique opportunity to help our student athletes develop the skills they need to be lifelong lovers of cycling in all forms. We recognize our supporters here on the website, through our team t-shirts, banners and social media posts and have designated them levels in accordance with some of our favorite trails at DuPont State Forest!

New for 2023/2024 season we have added a new fundraising drive that lasts year round, The Henderson Hellbenders Annual Drive. Our Annual Drive allows anyone who wishes to contribute to the Hellbenders Team to do so safely, easily and securely using our PayPal Link Below. Feel free to share the link with your friends, family and anyone who may be interested in getting More Kids on Bikes in Henderson County!

Through in-kind donations and financial support from our sponsors we have been able to provide:

• Custom Race Jerseys for all 44 Student Athletes Donated By Weevil Outdoors

• Hellbenders Logoed Water Bottles for all Student Athletes and Coaches donated by Hayden Outdoors Real Estate

• 10 Radios with a travel case for coaches to use while on the trails for practice
