 Dear Potential Sponsor, 

Northside Christian School has been asked again by Rice Festival Inc to run this year’s Rice Festival 5K Run on Saturday, October 17, 2026. We are honored to be a part of such an awesome event, and the proceeds will benefit the boy basketball team, cross country & track teams at Northside Christian School. We are asking businesses in our community and surrounding areas to consider sponsoring the Rice Capital 5K Run. 

For a sponsorship of $125 or more, businesses and individuals will receive a t-shirt and are guaranteed to have their sponsorship name on the t-shirt that every participant will be wearing on the day of the race, throughout the Rice Festival Weekend, and thereafter. In addition, businesses and individuals will then be allowed to place whatever items in the race bags that will be presented to each participant on race day. 

For a sponsorship of $250 or more, businesses and individuals will receive a race entry and logo on shirt, with your business being thanked for being a top sponsor. 

For a sponsorship of $500 or more, businesses and individuals will receive two race entries. In addition, the sponsor will be an official sponsor of a marker along the race and will be named from the main stage as a top sponsor for the Rice Festival 5K Run. 

Last, the top sponsor, will receive three race entries and have their logo as the largest logo on the t-shirt and will be named as the official sponsor for the entire race.
