Our banners for the day of the event will be provided by

Our sponsors are supporting over 140 non-profit agencies, faith based groups and schools with one donation check.

Becoming a Human Race Sponsor can benefit your organization in a number of ways.

• Improving the health of our community. We make it easy for our sponsors to have a substantial impact on their community. One gift check to the Human Race benefits over 135 local nonprofit agencies and schools and gives them the tools to raise over $250,000. There is no other investment your organization can make that touches so many local lives while bridging business and community.
• High visibility and name recognition before, during, and after the race via the Human Race website, media announcements via the Sentinel, KSBW & Community TV, Clear Channel Stations & other radio stations, posters, at the awards ceremony, and on 2,000 event T-shirts.
• Employee morale boosting and team building. By encouraging your employees to participate in the Human Race you will increase morale, enhance collaborative skills, and provide a sense of purpose and connection to meaningful community projects.
• Donations are Tax Deductible and 100% stays here to benefit the local community.

Without the generosity of the business community, the Human Race would not have been able to generate over three million dollars in the last thirty years. Our goal this year is to raise $250,000 in spite of the climate of diminishing financial resources.

We are counting on sponsorship dollars to keep the Volunteer Center’s out-of-pocket costs down so that we can focus our resources on vitalizing our programs and services.
