The Marietta Police Athletic League (PAL) cordially invites you to participate as a Sponsor of the 10th
annual Marietta Shamrock Shuffle 5K. This event will raise money to support Marietta PAL’s Youth
Sports and Recreation Programs, which serve area youth, many of whom could not otherwise afford to
participate in such programs. The event will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Marietta Square.
The event will kick off at 8:00am and will include prizes for St. Patrick’s Day themed costume contests for
the most convincing leprechaun and top qualifier awards.
To provide a memorable experience for participants and help offset the cost of organizing the event, we are
asking for your sponsorship. Funds received from sponsorships are used to purchase t-shirts for registered
race participants, timing equipment, awards, complimentary drinks and snacks. Any additional funds from
sponsorships will go toward our fundraising goal of $150,000 to support our amazing youth programs.
Attached you will find the sponsorship form that can be completed and returned to Ellen McNeel. Please feel free to
contact her with any questions at emcneel@mariettaga.gov or 770-794-5308. Thank you in advance your
consideration of becoming a race sponsor!
