A couple weeks ago I wrote about the White Rock Marathon‘s search for a new title sponsor, after Wellstone Communities withdrew its title sponsorship. Marathon organizers are still looking, but they have secured a presenting sponsor — which involves about 1/3 as much money, but is still a big accomplishment, says Chuck Dannis, White Rock Marathon board chairman. Dallas-based Nexbank is the new presenting sponsor and is the "official bank of the White Rock Marathon". Dannis says sponsors don’t really affect runners or those participating in the event, but that the search for sponsorship is so important because it ultimately affects the marathon committee’s post-race donation to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.
