The Rev Run is more than just a sporting event;

BENEFITS
WHAT YOUR
SPONSORSHIP
GAINS YOU
Sure, your sponsorship of the Valley Forge
Revolutionary 5-Mile Run® benefits the
runners, walkers and youth participating in
the event.
And it funds improvement projects within
Valley Forge National Historical Park, a
destination for millions of tourists – both
domestic and international – every year,
supporting not only the historic curiosity
they bring but also crucial economic
stimulus.
But what does it do for you as a donor of
either dollars or in-kind donations?
IT’S GREAT PUBLIC RELATIONS
You’re seen as a leader in the area, willing to take
the steps to preserve and enhance the national
treasure of Valley Forge National Historical Park.
IT IMPROVES EMPLOYEE MORALE
Again, you’re positioning yourself as a firm that
cares about the county in which it conducts
business. Also, if you choose, you can gather a
group of runners from among your staff and cover
their registrations. That’s an action that is win-win:
promoting healthy lifestyles and serving the local
community’s interests.
IT RAISES YOU’RE VISIBILITY
A logo on a t-shirt may not seem like much, but
we’ve been told again and again that those shirts
have legs! Our runners and walkers look forward
to getting them, and they’re proud to wear them.
Your corporate ID will be in plain sight on running
trails, treadmills, workout rooms and Zumba
classes for a long time beyond the April 19 event.
YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY
Want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some
of Montgomery County’s most high-profile firms
in terms of local vision and pride of investment in
the area? This is a way to do just that.

THE REV RUN
APPEALS TO

way to fill his time. A year later, he challenged the
hills and rises of the Valley Forge run.

the youngest 2013
competitor to pit
his abilities against
the rigors of the

them.

Chairman’s
Circle
Preserve, Conserve & Enjoy
Valley Forge National Historical Park is a major asset to the community and to the many corporate facilities that
surround it. It contributes to the quality of life that we all enjoy. Whether it’s the 26 miles of park trails for running
and hiking or the peaceful space that allows for quiet contemplation, Valley Forge Park has something for
everyone. Many residents move to this area because of the park and that provides a pool of employee talent for
corporations and businesses to draw upon.
In addition, many of your employees utilize Valley Forge for health reasons, whether before work, at their lunch
hour or at the end of the day. Consequently, your company has a vested interest in the health of the park.
Please join with us in the shared stewardship of the treasure that is Valley Forge National Historical Park. And you
