Want to become a sponsor?

As a sponsor, your organization’s name or logo could be included on the race t-shirts given to all runners!

If you’d like to support the Strides for STEM 5K, here are some ways to do it:

Monetary donations: Your donation will help us with the up-front costs of the Strides for STEM 5K and also help us increase our impact in the STEM community. Silver ($100) donors have the option of having your organization’s name on the 5K t-shirts given to all race participants. Gold ($250+) donors have the option of having your logo on the t-shirts. The size of the logo will correspond to the amount donated. Donations can be made here. Deadline to be guaranteed a spot: Tuesday, May 16th, 2023. ***We’ve placed our t-shirt order, so the deadline to have your name or logo on our shirts has passed! However, donations are still greatly appreciated and you will be acknowledged on our website and on race day! Thank you!***

Item donations: By donating items to the event, you will be helping us encourage more people to participate, which will benefit our cause and promote your brand to a broader audience. Any items you can donate, such as gift cards, food/drinks, or company merchandise, will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping us reach our goal. Please contact Amy Aponte at apontea@email.unc.edu to donate items!
