Testimonial from Bombshell Body Art

"2023 Run to the Sun was our first year as a sponsor/vendor at the event in Lake havasu City, Arizona. This was our first event as a shop, so it was both a learning experience and a great pleasure.We met many wonderful people and had a lot of fun!

The communication from the event coordinator, Kelli Wallin, was phenomenal. She met with us in person and worked with us electronically to get our logos and information straight. Everything went smoothly and was really a blast! They were all so welcoming, especially since our business is out of the "norm" as far as vendors and sponsors go for the event.

We truly appreciated being a part of an event that brings such a huge donation of money to the community! And let's face it, the view of gorgeous cars was the cherry on top!

It was an honor and a pleasure! Thank you!"
