The 17th Annual Hustle for Hope 5K is more than a race day—it is a chance for local businesses to invest in a stronger, more inclusive community. On Saturday, April 24, 2027, runners, walkers, families, neighbors, and community partners will gather in Downtown Chamblee to support The Elaine Clark Center and the children, young adults, and families we serve.
Corporate sponsorships begin at $500 and offer meaningful visibility alongside a direct opportunity to help sustain programs for children and young adults with developmental disabilities across Metro Atlanta.
A Community Event With a Meaningful Purpose
Hustle for Hope brings people together for a joyful morning with a serious purpose: creating opportunity, connection, and support for individuals of all abilities. For 17 years, this beloved event has united longtime friends of The Elaine Clark Center with new supporters who want to make a positive difference close to home.
Every sponsorship helps strengthen the inclusive care and educational opportunities that families count on. The Elaine Clark Center provides a continuum of services that includes inclusive child development, early intervention, specialized education through Heart of Hope Academy, out-of-school enrichment, and young adult life-skills programming through ECC Life.
When businesses sponsor Hustle for Hope, they help ensure that children and young adults can access individualized support in welcoming environments designed around their strengths, needs, and potential.
What Your Sponsorship Makes Possible
Families seeking disability services for children often need more than one program or one season of support. They need trusted partners who understand the value of consistency, inclusion, therapeutic care, education, and community. Since 1969, The Elaine Clark Center has worked to meet those needs for families in Chamblee and throughout Metro Atlanta.
Sponsorship support helps us continue offering programs that make a lasting impact, including:
- Inclusive early childhood experiences for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children
- Therapy-integrated learning and early intervention support
- Special education and functional curriculum for K–12 students at Heart of Hope Academy
- Out-of-school programs that provide enriching care during afternoons, school breaks, and summer
- Life-skills, community-based instruction, and vocational preparation for young adults in ECC Life
- Family-centered services, scholarships, pediatric nursing, and social-service support
These programs are built on the belief that everyone deserves meaningful opportunities to learn, belong, grow, and participate in their community.
Why Partner With The Elaine Clark Center
Corporate partners play an essential role in helping nonprofits turn mission into daily impact. A Hustle for Hope sponsorship allows your organization to demonstrate that it values inclusion while connecting with a highly engaged local audience.
For businesses of all sizes, this partnership can be a natural extension of your community engagement goals. Sponsorship provides a platform to show that your company stands with children, young adults, and families who deserve access to high-quality programs for children with disabilities and meaningful support throughout each stage of life.
It is also an opportunity to align your brand with a Chamblee nonprofit that has served the community for more than 50 years. The Elaine Clark Center is proud to be a place where families find compassionate care, experienced professionals, and a true sense of belonging.
Visibility Before, During, and After Race Day
Hustle for Hope sponsorships are designed to recognize the businesses and organizations that make the event possible. Multiple sponsorship levels are available, creating options for companies that want to participate at different levels of investment.
Sponsoring organizations can benefit from visibility connected to event communications, race-day experiences, and engagement with local families and community leaders. More importantly, your company will be recognized as a partner in advancing inclusive education services and support for people with developmental disabilities.
Rather than simply placing a name on a race shirt, your sponsorship can represent a visible commitment to the people and places that make our community thrive.
Connect With Families and Community Leaders
Downtown Chamblee provides a welcoming setting for a day of movement, encouragement, and celebration. Race participants include runners and walkers of many ages and abilities, along with parents, caregivers, volunteers, local businesses, supporters, and longtime Elaine Clark Center friends.
That shared experience creates a unique opportunity for sponsors to build authentic relationships. Your organization can connect with people who care deeply about inclusive childcare, special needs programs in Atlanta, disability advocacy, and creating better futures for local families.
For many attendees, the event is personal. They may be celebrating a child’s milestones, supporting a family member, volunteering for a cause they love, or showing up for a friend. A sponsorship tells those families that your company sees them, values them, and wants to be part of a more inclusive future.
