SPONSORS MAKE IT HAPPEN
The TFT® Firefighter Challenge Championship Series is fueled entirely by the philanthropic spirit of caring individuals, businesses and organizations that are champions of the fire service and firefighter community!
Our donors and sponsors realize they are not supporting just any charity or sporting event, but one with an inspiring mission that features real life heroes!
We offer many ways for you to support the Challenge, including year-round sponsorship opportunities, hosting or sponsoring an event, providing swag bag items, feeding our athletes, volunteering, sponsoring firefighters, or providing in-kind products and services. We invite you to be part of the most globally recognized fire service themed sporting event ever!
BE AN EVENT SPONSOR
Our event sponsors recognize the positive brand awareness their support provides by aligning their brand with our firefighter athletes. It’s more than a sponsorship but a tribute, and this cause-related marketing and support does not go unnoticed by consumers or the fire service.
Your support of our events and firefighter athletes will help drive excitement around your brand, products, and services. Many of our sponsors have reported an increase in product or service sales because of their affiliation. But the greatest return on investment is knowing you supported those who give it all to us in our greatest time of need.
We offer several sponsorship opportunities to choose from and can customize a plan to fit your marketing and budget needs. To learn more please CONTACT US.
PRODUCT DONATIONS
We are always in need of swag bag items, prizes, snacks and beverages, course supplies, and more! We have a place waiting for you to integrate your product and brand into our events.

VOLUNTEER
We love volunteers because it’s the greatest compliment in the world when someone raises their hand wanting to serve our heroes. The Challenge offers several volunteer opportunities to choose from:
Course Reset Crew:
This is the most important role on the course, and literally places you in the center of it all! These volunteer crew members resetting the course in between competition runs helps keep the event day schedule on time. Our athletes and spectators truly appreciate it.
These positions are only open to able-bodied individuals, aged 13 and above. Only individuals that are physically prepared to assume these roles should apply. All duties are repetitive, meaning performed 50+ per times a day, and require upper body, arm, and lower back strength. This volunteer opportunity is not recommended for those who are pregnant, with heart conditions, with serious back problems, with fear of heights, or have other health problems.
Event Hospitality Crew:
These positions are open to able-bodied individuals, aged 13 and above. Crew members assist with managing our refreshment area, warm-up station, water stations, air mask cleaning, and other critical duties that help provide our firefighters with the ultimate experience of hospitality and professionalism.
