🏍️ Become a Rally Stop
Kitties, Canines & Cruisers – May 31, 2026
Drive traffic. Gain exposure. Support animal welfare.
📍 What is a Rally Stop?
A Rally Stop is one of nine official checkpoints along our Motorcycle Rescue Rally route.
Riders begin at Chicago Harley-Davidson in Villa Park and choose three stops to visit (one Red, one Blue, one Yellow) before finishing at The Forge in Lemont.
At each stop, riders:
Participate in a quick, optional engagement activity (if you choose to host one)
Receive a sealed envelope containing a playing card
Continue on their route
Stops are spread out geographically to create a smooth, fun, choose-your-own-adventure experience and avoid bottlenecks.
You are part of the ride — not just a sponsor on paper.
🌟 Benefits of Being a Rally Stop
✔️ FREE participation
✔️ Direct traffic from registered motorcycle riders
✔️ Business exposure in event marketing and rider communications
✔️ Inclusion on official Rally Stop Map
✔️ Brand visibility to a pet-loving, motorcycle-friendly audience
✔️ Opportunity to convert riders into long-term customers
This is a unique way to:
Introduce your business to new customers
Drive same-day foot traffic
Build goodwill within the community
Align your brand with a high-impact animal welfare event
We will also provide volunteers on-site to assist with:
Rider flow
Engagement
Envelope distribution
You are not responsible for managing the rally mechanics.
📦 Rally Stop Requirements
Participation is FREE, but we do require one simple contribution:
🎁 Provide a branded item, coupon, sample, or promotional material
Quantity: 100 items
These items will be placed in rider swag bags or distributed at your location.
Examples include:
Coupons or discount cards
Stickers
Branded merchandise (pens, koozies, etc.)
Product samples
Pet treats
Promotional offers
This creates added value for riders while giving your business extended exposure beyond the day of the event.
Optional (but encouraged):
Create a simple engagement activity (photo op, spin wheel, trivia question, etc.) to enhance rider experience.
🗺️ Location Considerations
We are building a geographically balanced rally route.
If you have multiple locations, more than one site may qualify as a stop — provided they are appropriately spaced.
🤝 Want to Participate?
If you have a physical storefront and want to:
- Drive rider traffic
