SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Princeton 5K is the largest annual fundraiser for Princeton High School Cross Country Track and Field Booster (PHSCCTF), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The cross country and track programs are “non-cut” teams - a rarity at PHS. If a student wants to participate, they can. As a result, the numbers are much higher thanmost sports. Keeping participation open to everyone requires community support.
