Give 'Em the Bird 5k Run / 2K Walk (12th Annual)

PLEASE NOTE - you can not become a sponsor via  this website. Read everything below and download the form and reach out to Pat Brough for more information. 

We are thrilled to begin by expressing our heartfelt gratitude for your interest in supporting the Give ’Em the Bird 5K Run / 2K Walk. Your support has helped this Thanksgiving tradition grow stronger every year.

As we enjoy the final weeks of summer, we are excitedly preparing for the 12th Annual Give ’Em the Bird 5K Run / 2K Walk, taking place Thanksgiving morning—Thursday, November 26, 2026.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, participants, and community, last year’s event raised $40,000 for the Easthampton Community Center. Since the race began, it has raised an incredible $290,000 to help provide food and essential assistance to local families during the holiday season and throughout the year.

Registration opens on August 17, 2026, and the event has sold out for the past several years. The sooner we receive your sponsorship commitment, the sooner we can begin recognizing your business or organization on our registration website and promotional materials.

We are excited to introduce two new premier sponsorship opportunities this year:

All the Fixin’s Sponsor — $3,000: Includes all benefits of The Harvest Sponsor, plus prominent logo placement on every participant’s official race bib. This exclusive opportunity is limited to only two sponsors.

The Harvest Sponsor — $2,000: Includes prominent logo placement on the Race Day shirt, promotional materials, and registration website; a dedicated social media spotlight; the opportunity to host a promotional table on Race Day or at shirt pickup; and four complimentary race entries and shirts.

Complete details of these and our other sponsorship opportunities are included on the attached 2026 sponsorship form.

Please note that sponsorship commitments and logos must be received by November 1, 2026, to guarantee placement on the official Race Day shirt.

If you would like to become a sponsor, please complete the attached form and reply directly to this email. Please make checks payable to the Easthampton Community Center.
