The City of Kingman is partnering with Moonshot Rural Arizona to host the Kingman Pitch Competition on Tuesday, September 15, 2026. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in sharing the following opportunity with your Chamber membership.

The Moonshot Rural Arizona Pitch Competition is a "Shark Tank"-style event that gives aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators, inventors, and existing businesses with expansion ideas the opportunity to present their business concepts to a panel of judges.

Participants receive business coaching, mentorship, educational resources, and networking opportunities valued at more than $5,500, with Kingman's first-place winner advancing to the statewide competition for the chance to compete for additional prizes, including a $10,000 grand prize.

To help make this event a success, we are seeking local businesses and organizations interested in sponsoring prizes or making financial contributions. Sponsorships may include cash awards, gift cards, products, professional services, promotional items, or other prizes that will encourage and recognize our participants.

Supporting this event is an investment in Kingman's entrepreneurial future and demonstrates a commitment to fostering innovation, small business growth, and economic development within our community. Sponsors will also receive recognition through event promotions, social media, event signage, the Moonshot event webpage, and acknowledgements during the competition.

If you or a member of the Chamber is interested in becoming a sponsor or donating a prize, please contact me at tcurtis@cityofkingman.gov or (928) 565-1259. I would be happy to discuss sponsorship opportunities and answer any questions.

Thank you for helping us encourage and celebrate the entrepreneurs who are building the future of Kingman. We sincerely appreciate your partnership and support.

Best Regards,
