Become a Sponsor

Your corporation or organization can make a significant contribution to our efforts through sponsorship. Sponsors are indeed crucial to our success. Major sponsors have high visibility logo placement on our Web site each year, and we publish the names of all sponsors. (See our current list of sponsors as of 12/31/2007.) Contact us about sponsorship opportunities and expectations.

Volunteer to Help

We need volunteers of all kinds: event workers, telephone callers, record keepers, planners, organizers, movers & shakers, whatever. On the day of the event, throughout the year, or whenever. Tell us what you want to do and when, or get in touch with us to learn about volunteer opportunities.

Apply For a Grant

The Drug Free Relay Mini-Grant Program is a support program that enables our youth to responsibly give back to our community. The Relay Committee, along with local law enforcement agencies, is taking a strong committement to address the drug issue in Union County; therefore, our decisions for awarding grants will be based on how the organization focuses on drug prevention, drug reduction, and/or drug education. See Mini-Grant application form for eligibility criteria and other details.

The Drug Free Relay Major Grant Program selects a specific program as the recipient of a larger award than that of the mini-grant program. A focus area is chosen that represents the greatest need, or can help the greatest number of people, in the community in that given year. Major grants will vary in amount from year to year, based on the net profit. Normally grants in this category range from $3,000-$4,000. The Relay reserves the right to partially fund more than one grant. See Major Grant application form for eligibility criteria and other details.

The last grant cycle was completed in February 2008. For the next grant cycle, applications can be accepted beginning September 27, 2008 and must be postmarked no later than March 1, 2009.
