Sponsorship Opportunities
The Sewickley Sundae 5K is more than a race — it’s a signature summer community event built around fitness, family fun, local pride, and giving back.
Hosted by the Sewickley Valley Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Sewickley Runners Club, the event brings together runners, families, local businesses, and community supporters for a high-energy morning in the heart of Sewickley. Known for its post-race foam party and build-your-own sundae celebration, the event creates a memorable experience that extends well beyond the finish line.
Proceeds from the event support ongoing village beautification and streetscape enhancements, continuing the momentum of past projects like the Edison light installations that have helped define the character of downtown Sewickley.
As a sponsor, your organization plays a visible role in supporting the look, feel, and experience of the Sewickley community while gaining meaningful exposure to a highly engaged local audience before, during, and after race day.
This is a unique opportunity to align your brand with a high-profile community event, health and wellness, active lifestyles, local investment, and a positive civic-minded initiative led by local volunteers.
Our sponsorship program is designed to be flexible and collaborative, with a range of partnership levels and opportunities to show up in authentic, memorable ways. Below you’ll find sponsorship tiers outlining the visibility and benefits available at each level.
