Supporting Veterans in Style: Team Foster’s Foster 100 and a Bold Event Entrance

At Instant Promotion, we love seeing our custom event products in action—especially when they’re supporting an incredible cause. Team Foster, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accredited, life-saving service dogs to injured and disabled Veterans, recently put their custom 25ft inflatable arch to great use at the Foster 100 cycling event in September.

Two cyclists in Team Foster jerseys pedal under the custom inflatable arch on a scenic racecourse, surrounded by lush greenery during the Foster 100 event.

About the Foster 100

The Foster 100 is more than just a ride—it’s a mission. This 100-mile cycling event takes participants from Veterans Island in Pennsauken, NJ, to the shores of Cape May. With over 1,700 feet of elevation gain, four fully stocked rest stops (featuring puppy love!), and a fully supported format, it’s a ride that challenges endurance while fueling a greater purpose. For those looking for a slightly shorter route, the Foster Metric offers a 64-mile course, also ending at Cape May.

All funds raised during the event help Team Foster provide service dogs to Veterans in need, making the ride both a physical challenge and a powerful show of support.

A Bold Entrance with a Custom Inflatable Arch

A great event deserves a great first impression, and Team Foster made sure their start/finish line stood out with a custom 25ft inflatable arch from Instant Promotion. Fully branded with their logo and signature colors, the arch provided a striking focal point for the event, guiding cyclists as they embarked on their journey and welcoming them back as they crossed the finish line.

See It in Action: Watch the Arch Inflate!

One of the most exciting moments before the race kicked off was watching the inflatable arch come to life. In just minutes, this towering structure transformed from a compact bundle to an impressive gateway marking the start of the Foster 100. Check out the video to see the arch being inflated and taking its final shape!

Why an Inflatable Arch?

Inflatable arches are a game-changer for races and charity events like the Foster 100. Here’s why:

  • High Visibility: A towering arch ensures participants and spectators know exactly where the action is.
  • Custom Branding: Bold colors and logos make a lasting impression.
  • Easy Setup & Storage: Despite its massive size, this inflatable arch is quick to set up and deflates for compact storage.
