Charity Partners Program

Be a part of one of the nation’s largest charity partner programs! With 73 charities participating in 2011, we're the 4th largest program in the country! It's a great way to get visibility for your charity, get people involved in a common mission and raise money.


It's simple: Your non-profit organization recruits runners to register for the marathon, half marathon, relay, 10 miler or 5K. You then build a fund-raising campaign around those highly visible participants. You keep 100% of the pledges/funds you raise! We even have a program to include your volunteers.

Run for Charity

Runners, you can run and raise funds and awareness for any of our Charity Partners. Simply select your charity when you register, and that charity will contact you directly. Already registered? Email jean@runcolfax.org.

 
High Five Youth Fundraisers

Kids under 12 who raise $50 or more for one of our 2012 Charity Partners get a FREE entry to the Colfax 5K!  Runners must register through their Charity Partner.  For more on this new program, click here!

 

Benefits of Becoming a Charity Partner

Fund-raising:
- Access to a broad base of potential supporters, using a proven fund-raising platform that you do not have to originate.
- Retain 100% of funds raised, less any runner registration and transaction fees you incur.
- Design your own fund-raising campaign. It may be simple (give once) or more complex (create web-based fund-raising sites for individual runners or relay teams). Use your own fund-raising platform or an electronic fund-raising tool, made available through the Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon.

Visibility:
- Broaden your visibility and support base through our website.
- Showcase your organization and its services at the Health and Fitness Expo.  (discounted fee)
- Expand your visibility on race day by providing race day shirts and caps to your runners.

Support:
- Provide a way for your supporters to run, walk or volunteer for a cause they already believe in.
- Provide another way to thank your contributors by offering incentives and finish line benefits.
- Create a team-building opportunity or fun internal challenge to form relay teams.
