Sponsorship Opportunities
The Brad Schoener MusicMan 5K Run & 1-Mile Spirit Walk is one of Upper Darby’s most anticipated annual community events—and it’s also the gateway to something bigger.
Hosted by the Upper Darby Arts and Education Foundation, the MusicMan 5K is a cornerstone fundraiser supporting year-round programming that includes world-class music education camps, classroom grants, creative arts therapy programs, and community-based arts initiatives that serve students and families across Upper Darby.
This year, we’ve adopted a holistic partnership model—one that invites businesses and individuals to engage with the Foundation’s programs throughout the entire year. Our partners gain better visibility and deeper community connection, while keeping alignment with our mission to create a lasting impact.
As a Foundation Partner, your support extends beyond race day and connects you to:
- Multiple programs and initiatives throughout the year
- Consistent brand visibility across events, digital platforms, and community touchpoints
- Authentic engagement with families, educators, artists, and community leaders
- A cause-driven partnership rooted in access, creativity, and opportunity for youth
We believe kids thrive when they have access to out-of-school experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage leadership and problem-solving. Your partnership helps ensure music and the arts remain accessible to Upper Darby students—today and for years to come.
By partnering with us, you’re not just sponsoring an event—you’re investing in a vibrant arts ecosystem and positioning your brand as a committed supporter of education, creativity, and community well-being.
