Rotary 46th Anniversary Armadillo Run

Description

The Rotary Club of Oldsmar/East Lake and our charitable foundation, Oldsmar Florida Rotary Charities, Inc., cordially invite you to join other businesses, organizations, and individuals throughout the Tampa Bay area in sponsoring our 46th Annual Armadillo Run on March 6, 2027.  

Armadillo Run is one of our community’s long-standing running traditions, featuring flat, fast, scenic, and certified 5K and 10K courses with professional chip timing. Each year, this premier event attracts hundreds of runners, their families, and supporters who come together to enjoy the beautiful City of Oldsmar while racing along the picturesque shores of Tampa Bay. 

Your sponsorship makes a meaningful difference in our community and beyond. Proceeds from this event help our Rotary Club continue its longstanding tradition of Service Above Self by supporting a wide range of educational, charitable, and humanitarian initiatives, including: 

• Education and Youth Development: Adopt-a-Class programs; Students of the Month, Rising Stars, and Comeback Kids recognition programs at local elementary schools; college scholarships for graduating high school seniors; Seminar for Tomorrow’s Leaders (S4TL); youth mentoring and literacy programs; and the Rotary Reading Room at the Oldsmar Public Library. 

• Community Service and Humanitarian Assistance: Oldsmar CARES Food Pantry; Comfort Kits for the American Red Cross; the children at the Children’s Home Network; support for children at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Youth Ranch; adaptive wheelchairs for wounded warriors; Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets for families in need, and our annual Christmas Adopt-a-Family program. 

• International Humanitarian Projects: Library books for the Philippines, surgical equipment for the Bahamas, medical supplies for earthquake victims in Venezuela, Helping Babies Breathe initiative in Sierra Leone, and other humanitarian projects serving communities around the world. 

We warmly invite you to become a valued sponsor of this special community event. Your generosity will not only help make the Armadillo Run a success but will also directly support programs that improve lives, strengthen families, inspire young people, and bring hope to those in need. 

A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available, including both financial and in-kind contributions.  We welcome contributions of all sizes and sincerely appreciate your consideration.
