Earth Day Sponsorship - Kalamazoo Nature Center

Sponsorship Opportunities for 2023 Earth Day 5K & Kids’ Raccoon Run

We only have one earth, but two fun Saturdays to celebrate Earth Day at KNC. Your sponsorship places your business in front of our 6,200+ membership base and the greater Kalamazoo community on two consecutive Saturdays.
Saturday, April 15, kicks of with a Kids Raccoon Run – a fun, 1k romp along a stroller and wagon accessible trail. The Earth Day 5k follows featuring some of KNC’s most beautiful trails. On Saturday, April 22, we’ll offer FREE admission to KNC exhibits and trails. Proceeds support KNC’s early childhood education programs, which provide high–quality, nature–based education for children ages 3 and 4.
