The Ward Tour is completely volunteer-led and can only happen with your help. You can still ride the Ward Tour if you volunteer. Best of all, volunteers ride for FREE!

Sponsor a porta-potty!

One unique and inexpensive Ward Tour sponsorship option will be available again this year: Sponsor a porta-potty! $100 gets your name or your organization’s name on the door of one of the portable toilets that are so vital to big events like this. If you’re feeling flush…
