Apollo Commits to Title Sponsorship of Tri- City Water Follies
Apollo of Kennewick has agreed to be the Title Sponsor of the Tri City Water Follies Hydroplane races, now named the Apollo Columbia Cup. The commitment has been made for the next three years.
After suffering financial losses since 2020, the Tri-City Water Follies Association was in critical need of securing financial support from a Title Sponsor to continue the 59-year event. Apollo, with over 40 years in the community and over 30 years involvement, stepped up to allow the largest event in the Tri- Cities to continue its legacy.
Apollo is a Native American owned business that officially began operations in 1981 under the guidance and vision of owner Bruce Ratchford. Over the past 40+ years, the company has grown from humble beginnings to successfully perform $1 Billion in annual revenue. Their service expertise encompasses Commercial and Industrial Construction worldwide. From Apollo’s earliest beginning Bruce held the belief that building something truly requires the effort of every team member. Their slogan “Building People Who Build Great Things” is a testament to their success.
Nathan Craghill, President of Tri City Water Follies expressed his gratitude for the generous support from Apollo. “On behalf of the Board of Directors, approximately 1200 volunteers, and our loyal race fans, we are incredibly thankful for Apollo’s investment and collaboration to allow us to continue the hydroplane races which has been a tradition for generations.”
STCU is the sponsor of the Over the River Airshow. Other sponsorships include marketing and advertising opportunities customized to individual needs and include V.I.P. ticket packages, media coverage, community outreach, and exposure to an average of 50,000 attendees.
