Hey Sponsors!
Help us create the future STEM Leaders of tomorrow!
We've made things even simpler this year: Our sponsorship levels have been streamlined into just three tiers to make it easier than ever to get involved:
Gold Sponsor- Over $1,000: 4 complimentary race tickets, a Race Day Mile Marker sign with your logo, company logo on the event t-shirt, featured placement on our event website, social media exposure across all W.I.S.H. platforms, a mention from the event stage on race day, and the opportunity to set up an exhibit table/booth.
Silver Sponsor - Up to $1,000: 2 complimentary race tickets, company logo on the event t-shirt, featured placement on our event website, social media exposure, a mention from the event stage, and an exhibit table/booth opportunity.
Bronze Sponsor - Up to $500: Company logo on the event t-shirt, featured placement on our event website, social media exposure, a mention from the event stage, and an exhibit table/booth opportunity.
Individuals can also join in the fun as a Seedling Donor at any amount with recognition being completely up to the donor, but we love giving a shout-out to all of our Seedlings on our website and social media!
WHY WE DO THIS:
This year alone, the W.I.S.H. High School STEM Scholarship received over 250 applications, demonstrating just how great the need is. These students are eager, driven, and passionate about pursuing careers in STEM - but they need our support to make their dreams a reality.
As a 100% volunteer-run organization with minimal operating costs, every dollar you donate goes directly to the students these funds are designed to support.
Looking ahead, our 2026 goal is to expand our W.I.S.H. awards program - growing from 10 to 15 High School STEM Scholarships and Conference Grants for 2027.
Additionally, any extra funds raised will support W.I.S.H.’s interactive classroom STEM presentations, now extended to reach both middle and high school students, bringing hands-on learning and real-world inspiration to even more young minds.
Thank you for being part of this movement. Together, we're building the future of STEM, one student at a time.
