24 Challenge® Math Program Sponsorship Opportunities
Position your company as a leader in addressing one of society’s most important issues—education. The 24 Challenge® Math Program produces lasting, positive, social benefits—children build vital math skills and gain confidence. As a sponsor, you will be helping young people of all socioeconomic groups connect with the world of numbers and move on to excel in mathematics, science and related fields.
Activate entire communities and generate excitement about your company. Sponsor logos appear on all 24 Challenge® materials. Participation for sponsors involves minimal time investment. Suntex handles all aspects of preparation, distribution of materials and organization. However, company representatives are invited to attend press conferences, or present awards to the winners at regional Championship Finals events.
Generate positive news coverage. The press conference pictured above was covered by leading Philadelphia media, including WPVI-TV Channel 6 ACTION NEWS, which ran the story on both its 6 and 11 o'clock editions. Philadelphia School District CEO Paul Vallas and members of the School Reform Commission received a $500,000 grant from PECO. This generous donation is part of PECO’s “Energy for Education Partnership,” a campaign to support key initiatives that benefit Philadelphia schoolchildren, including the 24 Challenge®. Pictured left to right are: Lisa Crutchfield, Vice President of Regulatory and External Affairs for PECO; Denis O’Brien, PECO President and CEO; Tomas Hanna, Special Assistant to Paul Vallas and Dr. Elois Dupree, Spring Garden E.S. Principal.
Sponsors can fund one event or several events in different locations. Larger, national sponsorship opportunities can include naming rights. Here the 2004 Greater San Diego Area 24 Challenge® Grand Champions are congratulated by first-time local sponsor Gen-Probe. Pictured above, front row, left to right: Grade 4/5 - Alvin Balmeo; Grade 6 - Ling Yeung; Grade 7/8 - Sofie Christlieb and Platinum Masters Champ Michael Kim.
