Your sponsorship directly supports access to arts education in Darlington County. It helps lighten the burden for dedicated teachers who often spend up to $1,000 of their own money each year on supplies, such as paper, paint, clay, and instruments, to ensure every student has what they need to create.
By sponsoring the Happy Little Tri & Fun Run, you’re not only supporting a community-centered wellness event, you’re also helping provide essential tools for local art programs, reducing out-of-pocket costs for teachers, and making creative experiences accessible for youth of all backgrounds.
Together, we can uplift artists, students, and educators—one canvas, costume, or drumbeat at a time.
We kindly request your support in one or more of the following ways:
Sponsorship: We offer a range of sponsorship packages designed to suit businesses of all sizes and budgets. As a sponsor, your business will receive prominent recognition in our marketing materials, event signage, and social media platforms, enhancing your brand visibility among a diverse audience.
