The 2025 Cure Coats’ 5K is coming up - June 21 - 28, 2025! This event aims to raise awareness of Coats' Disease and help fund research to find a cure. But the Cure Coats' 5K isn't just about running—it's about rallying together our global Coats' community to make a lasting difference. And we need your help to make it even bigger and more impactful. 

In addition to registering for the event, one of the most powerful ways you can contribute is by helping us secure sponsorships in your local medical and business communities. 

Whether you're in a small town or a major city, there are people and businesses who care about children’s health—and they may be more than willing to support our cause. That’s why we’ve created a Sponsorship Packet to make it easy for you to get started. It includes everything you need to approach potential sponsors, including:

• A customizable outreach letter and tax-deductibility information

• Sponsorship levels and benefits

• Event flyer

Who can you reach out to?
Start by connecting with local pediatricians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists, as they often understand the importance of early detection and treatment of rare retinal diseases like Coats' Disease. Local businesses, fitness clubs, and even community organizations may also be excited to get involved. 

Together, we can build a worldwide network of support that helps drive research forward, supports affected families, and raises awareness of this rare disease. 

Let’s show the world what our community can do when we work together. Thank you for being a vital part of this mission!
