Sponsorship

Arc Race is a well-known community event that supports programs for people with developmental disabilities. The event would not be possible without the support of sponsors and in-kind contributions from companies, organizations and individuals. Arc Race benefits programs for people with developmental disabilities through the Arc of Onondaga Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.  Contributions to Arc Race may be tax-deductible.

We appreciate the generosity of those in our community who support the Arc Race and recognize them in a wide variety of ways. There are several sponsorship levels available.

 

SPONSORSHIPS

Several sponsorship levels are available for those companies who would like great exposure to the Central New York community.  Sponsors receive a wide variety of benefits and at the same time help ensure programs for people with developmental disabilities remain available in our community.  Sponsorships range from Presenting Sponsor to Sprint Sponsor.  To find out which Sponsorship Level is right for you and to become a Sponsor, see our Arc Race Sponsor Packet.
