Join Us in Celebrating Freedom, Fitness & Community! | Race Date: July 4, 2026

Dear Community Partner,

You are invited to support America’s 5K, a patriotic Fourth of July race taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Downtown Anderson, South Carolina.

This year, we are celebrating the 250th Birthday of America! This milestone anniversary makes the race even more special as we honor independence and unity through a fun and active community celebration.

All proceeds benefit First Flight Alliance programs, including Operation Active Kids (OAK), #RunThisTown, and PlaySmart by PlaySafe USA. You can learn more about these organizations at www.yourfirstflight.org.

We are currently offering one Presenting Sponsorship opportunity, along with a variety of individual sponsorship options. Businesses may select one or multiple sponsorships to fit their goals and level of involvement. Each sponsorship tier is limited to one sponsor unless otherwise noted. Once the Presenting Sponsor is secured, the only individual sponsorships available will be Business T-Shirt Sponsors.

Sponsoring America’s 5K provides strong brand visibility, supports health and active lifestyles, and aligns your business with a patriotic celebration that brings our community together.

During race-day awards, we will also recognize one male and one female recipient of the Jacob Lewis Scholarship for outstanding volunteerism. This scholarship is funded by a dedicated donor and is not a fundraising request. We would be honored to have your business join us in making America’s 5K a success!
