Business Sponsorships

One of our biggest goals this season is growing our Business Sponsorship Program. Sponsorships help fund team meals, equipment, coach support, athlete recognition, our end-of-season banquet, and other needs throughout the season.

If you own a business, work for a company that supports local organizations, or know someone who may be interested in sponsoring the Rouse Cross Country and Track & Field program, we'd love to connect with them! Every sponsorship, big or small, makes a direct impact on our athletes.

The sponsorship packet is attached or feel free to send us any business recommendations! Please email RouseRunners@gmail.com with any questions or recommendations.

Sponsor Spotlight: Culver's

A huge thank-you to Culver's for supporting Rouse Cross Country and Track & Field with a generous $500 sponsorship and for hosting our spirit night raising an additional $155! We appreciate their continued support!
