Award-Winning Massachusetts Moving Company to Maximize Opportunity as Official Moving Company of World’s Largest Regatta
Cambridge, Massachusetts (PRWEB) October 19, 2011
In its official role, Gentle Giant will be utilizing its award-winning moving teams to load and deliver race operations materials, boats, vendor equipment, apparel and more throughout the multi-day race. The company will leverage the sponsorship opportunity for visibility in several ways, including offering its Gentle Giant Challenge featuring Speed Stairs, a customized piece of mobile sports training equipment. The Gentle Giant Challenge gives people a chance to race up and down the Speed Stairs five times as fast as possible. It will be located next to the company’s booth at the Rowing & Fitness Expo during the regatta. For a demonstration, click here for a YouTube video.
Gentle Giant expects to have hundreds of participants, all of which will receive a Gentle Giant water bottle, time card, and t-shirt. For top male and female participants the company will give away a $500 cash prize. Winner is various male and female age categories will also receive special Reebok gift cards so they can order their own custom designed pair of Reebok sneakers.
Although this is the first year for Gentle Giant as the official moving partner, the company has a long history with the regatta. For more than three decades, the company has employed athletes from the national rowing community, many of whom have competed in the legendary event through their schools and collegiate alumni clubs, or with the Gentle Giant Rowing Club.
“Gentle Giant and the Head Of The Charles is a perfect pairing,” said Larry O’Toole, Founder & CEO of Gentle Giant and long-time competitive rower. “Both organizations promote teamwork and athleticism, and I am incredibly proud to be a sponsor of this famous rowing event that brings so much excitement to the community.”
Gentle Giant will also use its exposure at the Head Of The Charles Regatta to help recruit more employees for its leadership development program. The Boston moving company owes a lot of its success to having current and former rowers on its trucks. The never quit, always hustling attitude ingrained in rowers has helped elevate Gentle Giant’s status to the nation’s premiere moving services provider.
