Sponsor Commitment Form

The Help Center is our community’s local suicide, crisis, and resource line, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since 1971. Covering Gallatin and the surrounding 12 counties, we provide suicide prevention workshops and outreach to community groups and events. Montana has ranked in the top 5 states for the highest suicide rates for the past 30 years. 

Run for Your Life is the Help Center’s largest fundraiser. This Halloween-themed 5k & Kid’s run was voted the #1 Run/Walk in the 2020 Bozeman’s Choice Readers’ Poll.  For our 7th Annual event, we are hosting an in-person event on Oct. 30th and will continue to offer a virtual option to participate.
​
Last year we held this event virtually, and we still had 615 people register!  In 2019, we had 1,053 participants register. Around 700 still showed up in a snow storm. We have amazing participants that are dedicated and passionate about our mission!

Since COVID began in Montana, the Help Center has shifted quickly to meet the growing needs in our community. We have seen a 55% increase in the need for our services. Your sponsorship will support Run for Your Life as well as help sustain our vital 24/7 services and suicide prevention outreach within our community. Help us in assisting your neighbors, friends and families through crisis when they need it most.

​Please review the various sponsorship levels and benefits below. We seek to make this a win-win relationship and help you as well. What are we missing in the benefits package? We would love to work with you!
