Choose a path
Not every sponsor needs the same thing.
Start with the kind of support you want to give, then use the packet for the official level, benefits, and logo details.
Want visibility?
Start with Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus, or Elite. These levels are better fits when public recognition and logo placement matter.
Want simple support?
Bronze, Silver, or Friends of St. Mary’s are good paths for families, parish friends, and small businesses that want to help.
Want to support the race?
Use the 5K sponsor option when your support is specifically tied to the Friday night run and regional race audience.
Want to donate goods?
Use the in-kind, auction, or basket raffle path for items, gift cards, services, and creative packages.
What sponsorship makes possible
Support the work behind the weekend.
Oktoberfest works because people step in early and help carry the parts guests may never notice: setup, cleanup, hospitality, food and beverage service, kids areas, race logistics, entertainment spaces, raffle support, and the many small needs that keep the weekend welcoming.
Sponsor support helps St. Mary’s keep the event strong for parish families, school families, alumni, neighbors, runners, and guests who come back because the weekend feels like community, not just another event on the calendar.
- Support Catholic faith and education
- Keep family-friendly activities accessible
- Strengthen the 5K, food, games, and entertainment areas
- Help volunteers serve the broader community well
Logo guidance
Logo details can be handled after sponsorship is selected. The sponsorship packet explains which levels include logo placement and what is needed. Sponsors do not need to solve the artwork details before starting the sponsorship conversation.
When a logo is needed, send a clean EPS, high-resolution PNG, or PDF to 2026sponsor@gmail.com by August 28.
