Sponsors, Logo Sought for 5K

A 5-kilometer run set for May 5 will benefit the Paulding Education Foundation.

The Paulding Education Foundation is actively seeking sponsors to support the Cinco De Mayo 5K Race for Education, set for May 5 in downtown Dallas.

The race is open to all members of the community as a way to support Paulding County Schools. Entrants may run, walk or participate as a “phantom” runner by just making a financial contribution. You can find a race application in the attached documents.

Sponsors will enjoy booth space, may provide entrants with giveaways and coupons and will receive recognition on t-shirts, banners and other printed materials. Sponsorship opportunities are available starting at $100. More information on sponsorships is attached to this article.

United Healthcare signed on as an early sponsor of the race and will also provide many volunteers. Other businesses are encouraged to partner with the education foundation—a private, non-profit, 501c3 tax-exempt organization dedicated to promoting excellence in education in the Paulding County School District.

The foundation also is sponsoring a logo design contest for middle and high school students. The winning logo will be used to promote the Cinco De Mayo 5K Race. Entrants are encouraged to design a Cinco de Mayo-inspired logo that represents education and the 5K race.
