Empowering Student-Athletes: Invest in the Los Rios Athletics Day of Giving

On September 16, 2026, Los Rios Athletics will unite four community colleges—American River College, Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College, and Sacramento City College—for a high-visibility, one-day fundraising campaign: the Los Rios Athletics Day of Giving. Operating under the banner "One Team. Four Colleges. Endless Impact," this districtwide initiative invites local businesses, alumni, and community leaders to partner with Los Rios to make a lasting difference in the lives of student-athletes.

WHY SPONSOR

  • High-visibility, one-day campaign with strong community engagement.

  • Flexible options: support all four colleges or designate one college.

  • Measurable impact through post-event reporting.

WHAT YOUR SUPPORT FUNDS

  • ATHLETICS: Equipment, travel, and program needs that keep teams competitive.

  • ACADEMICS: Support that helps student-athletes stay focused on degree completion.

  • STUDENT SUPPORT: Resources that remove barriers and help students persist and succeed.

ALL SPONSORS RECEIVE

All levels of sponsorships receive name and logo recognition on the Athletics Day of Giving banners* displayed all academic year at all four Los Rios colleges and two season tickets for one preferred sport (i.e.: Baseball, Football, Soccer, etc.).

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Athletics programs at our colleges rely on philanthropic support to help student athletes succeed both academically and athletically. Unlike many four-year institutions, California community colleges do not offer athletic scholarships, making donor support critical.

OPPORTUNITIES

Sponsorship opportunities range from $500 to $5,000, with options to support all four colleges or designate a specific college.
