Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors
The LifeSong Dash is more than just a race—it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact! This exciting event supports LifeSong, Inc. in its mission to Love, Enhance, Equip, and Inspire adults with differing abilities and their families.
In 2025, thanks to incredible corporate and community support, the Dash raised over $45,000 to further this mission. All net proceeds will help defer the costs of the renovation and expansion of our offices at Plaza 8 in Clifton Park, helping us to grow by nearly 30 percent over the next three years!
If you’d like to be part of this incredible effort for next year’s LifeSong Dash 5K, explore our most recent sponsor packet and join our family of dedicated partners!
Thank you to our 2025
Business Partners
