Thank you to our 2025 iRun Sponsors!

We couldn’t make such a big impact for kids without the generous support of our community sponsors. Because our sponsors have partnered with us, we can offer classroom grants to teachers, enrichment opportunities to kids and scholarships to graduating seniors.

Thank you!
