Set up your personal fundraising page
Whether you're a runner, a walker, an artist, an educator, a student  
or a parent, you can be a fundraiser, too! Visit our Run for the Arts  
contribution page to begin. Once there, click on "become a fundraiser"  
to set up your own personal page, with a photo, a personal fundraising  
goal, and the opportunity to track your progress and let people know  
how to sponsor you. You don't have to participate in the 5k to collect  
sponsorships, but running or walking for a cause is a great way to  
stay motivated and to inspire others!

Teams and Costumes
Celebrate the arts! Run or walk in costume, form a team, or dance your  
way through the 5k! Let your creativity run wild! Prizes will be  
awarded for best individual costume and most creative team theme.

Children's Fun Mile
Children of all ages can register for the Fun Mile for just $10.  
Parents run free with their child(ren). The Fun Mile will start at  
9:30 a.m., prior to the 5k.

Art
Artists of all ages are invited to submit proposals to perform or  
install art at the event! We are especially looking for groups to  
perform along the route and in the park, visual and interactive art in  
the park, and creative awards to give to participants. Please read the  
participation guidelines and submit a proposal! ContactStacey with  
questions.

Become a sponsor
Join us in support of arts education in Michigan schools! Help us put  
on this celebration with a sponsorship from your business or  
organization. Sponsors receive widespread recognition, and are also  
invited to become vendors at the event. Multiple levels of  
participation are available. (Arts education organizations receive a  
special offer!) Learn more!

Volunteer
Race-day volunteers will staff the water station, serve as course  
marshalls, help with registration and check-in, and much more. Anyone  
high school age or older is welcome. This is a great chance for school  
groups or scout troops to perform a service to the community! Read  
about the opportunities opportunities, then contactStacey to become a  
volunteer.
