Sponsor the 45th Annual Armadillo Run Classic
March 14th, 2026
Dear Potential Sponsor:
The Rotary Club of Oldsmar Eastlake and our foundation, Oldsmar Florida Rotary Charities Inc., invite you to join many other companies and individuals across the Tampa Bay area in sponsoring our 45th Annual Armadillo Run on March 14, 2026. This premier event features flat, fast, scenic, and nationally certified 5K and 10K courses with chip timing. With a rich history, the Armadillo Run continues to draw several hundred runners and their families each year to enjoy the city of Oldsmar as they race along the shores of Tampa Bay.
This year’s run is dedicated to the fight against Alzheimer’s, with 50% of all proceeds supporting Alzheimer’s research, while the remaining proceeds will benefit the Oldsmar Eastlake Rotary Club and our local community projects—ensuring every step makes a difference close to home and beyond.
Your sponsorship helps us meet critical needs in our community through initiatives such as Adopt-a-Class programs, Students of the Month, Rising Stars and Comeback Kids recognition at local schools, college scholarships for high school seniors, support for Oldsmar CARES Food Pantry, Comfort Kits for the American Red Cross, the Rotary Bistro at the Children’s Home Network, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Youth Ranch, adaptive wheelchairs for wounded warriors, Seminar for Tomorrow’s Leaders (S4TL), the Rotary Reading Room at the Oldsmar Public Library, our annual Christmas Adopt-a-Family program, Thanksgiving food baskets, youth mentoring and literacy programs, and international humanitarian projects including library books for the Philippines, surgical equipment for the Bahamas, and Helping Babies Breathe in Sierra Leone.
We invite your participation and sponsorship of this event. Various sponsorship opportunities are available (see attached page) for both cash and in-kind contributions. If you have any questions or need additional information, including our 501(C)(3) tax-exempt identification, do not hesitate to contact Sarah Jacobs at Sarah_Jacobs87@yahoo.com.
