The Great Race For Education Event Sponsorships

Dear Potential Great Race Supporter,

Are you looking for a unique marketing opportunity that provides a team-building experience, employee morale boost and is tax-deductible? The Great Race for Education can give your company all of this AND MORE.

Redefining the old “scavenger hunt” format as a clever and edgy fundraising event, The Great Race for Education combines trivia and intellectual knowledge with cutthroat competitive challenges. Each team comprised of four people competes for prizes by running around the Idaho Falls river front and Snake River Landing to pit wit, physical strength and speed against other teams.

Previous editions of The Great Race for Education have raised tens of thousands of dollars for scholarships thanks to our partners who are “in the race” to change lives. Past teams included Mountain View Hospital, Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, Cooper Norman, Idaho Central Credit Union, Ball Ventures, Intermountain Gas, Citizen’s Community Bank, Teton Auto Group, Idaho Environmental Coalition, Bank of Idaho, and many more.

One of the best parts? While the teams are racing around town on foot, their team “owners” are living-it-up in the shade at home base helping runners solve clues, enjoying good times!

Please join us on Friday, July 19, 2024 to celebrate our fifteenth Great Race for Education. You can expect lots of fun and competition to support the CEI Foundation.

On this page are available sponsorship opportunities. I look forward to you joining The Great Race Family in 2024!

Sincerely,

Dave Facer, Executive Director
