This event is the only fundraiser for Madison County 4-H Youth Council! We rely on funds through donations and participation to help us continue providing events for Madison County. These events include the 4-H Family Movie Day at the Iowa Theatre, our Donut Drive at American State Bank, the 4-H Pool Party at the Winterset Aquatic Center, and the Movie Night during the county fair—all of which are completely free of charge.
Interested in becoming a donor?
There are a couple of ways we accept donations for this race! The first being through our "RunSignup" platform which accepts all forms of card and Apple Pay donations. Cash donations are accepted on the morning of the race. Additional donations can be dropped or mailed to the Madison County Extension Office at any time either before or after the race has taken place!
Interested in becoming a sponsor?
We are seeking sponsorships to help us continue the tradition of the 4K for 4-H. Our sponsorship levels—Head ($250), Heart ($500), Hand ($750), and Health ($1,000)—correspond to the 4-H pledge. Sponsorships help cover the cost of event t-shirts for racers, race awards, post-race recovery snacks, finish line setup, and more! We will display sponsorships on the back of the t-shirt, with the size of the logo according to the donation amount, as well as a post on our 4H Facebook page sharing your generous donation towards our efforts in the community. What sponsorship money is left over after the race goes towards supporting the events above which we provide free to the community.
If your business is not able to contribute financially, but you are still interested in being apart of our race day, we do collect donations for any other race day items. All race recovery items are donated by community members and local businesses in addition to our race bibs and various participant "perks" and prizes.
