Little Run on the Prairie Sponsorship
Prairie Hill Learning Center is a Montessori school located on a beautiful 12-acre farm, serving students from 18 months to 8th grade. Prairie Hill offers a unique nature-based learning environment while grounded in authentic Montessori education. Our mission is to offer education in an atmosphere that promotes individual growth as well as caring for others and the Earth.
This fall we'll be hosting our 13th Annual Little Run on the Prairie, and we'd love to have you partner with us as a business or family sponsor for the run! The run will be the kick-off event to our annual community event and fundraiser - the Children's Country Fair, which is scheduled from 10am to 2pm that same day. Each year we try to grow and make it even more successful than the year prior, as it serves not only as a community gathering, but is also a vital component of our fundraising efforts.
Little Run on the Prairie is a unique fun run specifically for children, but parents are invited to join in, too. The run is held on our historic country campus, with a mile course that takes them through the pasture. The run will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026 and starts at 9:00AM. We expect around 100 children to be registered for the Little Run on the Prairie.
We would be grateful if your family or business would consider supporting this run by being a sponsor. We know that you value health and wellness in youth, and we want to have you as a partner to promote activities that align with these values by creating opportunities for children to experience nature while exercising and having fun!
As a sponsor, your business name or family name will be featured on the 2026 Little Run on the Prairie t-shirts, digital marketing for this event, and on our social media. We kindly ask that you have pledged your sponsorship level by September 23, 2026. Prairie Hill is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and contributions are tax-deductible.
This year we are allowing pledges for sponsorship to be sent one of two ways, online (with a small fee) or the traditional approach of printing out sponsorship form and delivering it to PRAIRIE HILL.
Traditional forms with the pledged amounts can be delivered or mailed to the school at:
