Dear Potential Girls on the Run 5K Sponsor, The Board, Staff and Volunteers of Girls on the Run Willamette Valley are excited to invite you to be a part of Girls on the Run 5K celebration on Saturday, June 4, 2016. Net proceeds from this event support the mission of Girls on the Run to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident. When you make a financial donation, you help another girl experience the power of our program. She learns life skills that she will use again and again. She will gain confidence. She’ll complete a 5K – whether running, walking, or skipping – knowing first-hand that big things are possible when you keep moving forward. As a sponsor of the Girls on the Run 5K celebration, you will receive publicity based on your level of sponsorship. You have an opportunity to be recognized in our printed materials, on our website and social media, and on signage at the event – 1,200+ participants strong! Your company name on finisher t-shirts will give you year-long recognition. Please review the attached information and consider being involved in multiple ways. Please contact Tiffany Bailey (541) 250-0444 if you are interested in one of our top sponsorship levels. We want to include you in our promotional materials as soon as possible. The final deadline for 5K sponsorship is May 6, 2016. However, the earlier the response, the more ways we can recognize you at Girls on the Run and in the wider community.

The finish line is just the beginning! Completing the 5K gives a girl a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for achieving live goals.
