What is Team Peacock?

Team Peacock is riding for student scholarships. A group of faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of UIU, led by President Walker, participate in RAGBRAI (the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) to raise awareness of Upper Iowa University and most important, to raise money for student scholarships. Now in its fourth year of participating. Team Peacock has raised more than $125,000 for our students. The funds have been used to establish the President's Challenge Scholarship and increase the value of many smaller scholarships by hundreds of dollars.

This year, the goal is $100,000. We need your help to make it!

EXPOSURE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

Sponsorship of Upper Iowa University's Team Peacock offers a highly visible, cost-effective way to promote your business and create corporate goodwill within the community. Because RAGBRAI is an established statewide, seven-day event in Iowa with national exposure that draws tens of thousands of entrants each year, it is the perfect venue for corporate sponsorship.
