We can build a sponsorship package to fit any budget, but our ultimate goal is to develop a long-term relationship with your organization. Donors can deduct contributions under IRC Section 170 using our number (81-4303428). Our exempt status is under Section 501(c)(3).

We use our track program as an educational tool to teach youth athletes how to reach their full potential not only on the track, but also within their communities and at school. As Rolesville Lightning work to develop athletes, we will also prepare them for the highest level of competition; the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) Junior Olympics (JO) National Championships.

Our athletes will compete at local and regional track meets during the spring and summer, in preparation for the National Championships that takes place in July. Every year, over 8,000 athletes compete at Nationals under media coverage. In 2016, 7 of our athletes qualified to represent our area Nationally. A year later in 2017, 20 athletes qualified to compete at Nationals. In 2018, we are looking forward to even more participation at Junior Olympics (JO) National Championships.
