Dear Potential Sponsor,

​

Thank you for your consideration to Sponsor the 2024 Isle of Palms Connector Run & Walk for the Child to be

held Saturday, October 5, 2024. This charity race has continued annually since the Isle of Palms Connector was

built in 1993. We are proud to promote healthy lifestyles in the Lowcountry while having raised and donated

over $1 million dollars to the prevention of child abuse.

​

This charity event is a coordinated effort between the Isle of Palms Exchange Club, the City of Isle of Palms and

the Town of Mount Pleasant. Our team of dedicated volunteers puts in countless hours each year to continue

to raise funds for our worthy charities. You can be assured that ALL sponsorship money raised flows to our

charitable causes. Organizations such as Windwood Farm, HALOS, Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Dee Norton Child

Advocacy Center, Florence Crittenton, Doors to Freedom and Darkness to Light are examples of past years’

beneficiaries.

​

We have been very fortunate in fundraising for this event and each year we try and reach a little higher. In

2020, the Run was canceled due to the pandemic and we still raised and donated over $50,000. 2021 was

another good year in which $75,000 was donated, and in 2022 we nearly reached the $100,000 mark. Our most

successful year to date, however, was last year. In 2023 we raised and donated over $110,000 – it was a BIG

year for us in raising and donating funds for the prevention of child abuse. This year we have set our sights on

doing even better!

​

Child abuse is a hidden epidemic that is happening around the globe, and the United States is no exception. In

fact, out of all of the industrialized nations, the U.S. has one of the worst records of child abuse. According

to child abuse statistics shared by the nonprofit Childhelp, a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds in

the United States. Sadly, South Carolina has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the United States.

Please join us in making this year’s Run the most impactful yet! We are counting on you and we thank you!
