Sponsorship Opportunities
The Sewickley Classic 5K & Community Festival is more than a race — it’s a new signature event designed to bring the Sewickley community together around health, local pride, and giving back.
Hosted by the Sewickley Runners Club and benefiting Laughlin Children’s Center, this inaugural event will draw runners, families, and spectators from across the region for a morning of competition, celebration, and community connection in the heart of Sewickley.
As a sponsor, your organization plays a visible role in launching what we intend to become a long-standing community tradition — while gaining meaningful brand exposure to thousands of participants, families, and local residents.
This is a unique opportunity to align your business with:
- A high-profile community event in a highly engaged local market
- Health, wellness, and active lifestyles
- Support for children and families through Laughlin Children’s Center
- A positive, civic-minded initiative led by local volunteers
Our sponsorship program is designed to be flexible and collaborative. We offer a range of partnership levels — and we are always open to creative ideas for how your organization can engage participants in authentic, memorable ways.
Below you’ll find our sponsorship tiers outlining the visibility and benefits available at each level.
