Charity Partner
Q: Who is your charity partner?
A: The Sunshine State Challenge is extraordinarily proud to work with ReTree PC. ReTree PC's goal is to restore the 75% of Panama City's tree canopy which was destroyed in a matter of hours on October 10th, 2018 when Hurricane Michael devastated the area. As we spent the majority of our life in Panama City and call it home, it's incredibly important that we see it's beauty restored in our lifetime!
Q: How much of each registration do you donate?
A: We donate 10% of each registration fee. So on a $60 registration fee we will donate $6 to ReTree PC.
Q: Can I make an additional donation to the charity?
A: Absolutely! While registering their is a page that asks you if you would like to donate extra, 100% of that donation goes to ReTree PC. Additionally at anytime you can visit SunshineStateChallenge.com and click "donate" to make a donation.
Q: Is the Advanced Running Project a non-profit?
A: Advanced Running is not a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization, but don’t let a tax classification fool you. Supporting charities is part of the foundation of who we are and what we believe in as a company. Since our founding in 2018 we have donated thousands to organizations in our community. Learn more about us and our philosophy on the About Us page.
Q: Is my registration tax deductible?
A: Unfortunately, no. While a portion of your registration fee will be donated to charity, we are not a 501(c)(3) charity and are therefore unable to provide tax receipts.
Q: How do we know you donated the money?
A: After the event we will work with ReTree PC to make a final payment to them and will provide documentation of the acknowledgement letter we receive from ReTree PC on our Facebook page!
