Company Profile:
Aztlan Athletics (Aztlan Events) has managed, developed and operated unique grass-roots, community-based fundraising events since 1974. Aztlan Athletics originated the run/walk & wellness resource platform utilizing natural trail park settings with the goal of raising direct service programing proceeds to deserving community based non-profit agencies.
Aztlan run/walk and wellness events provide a unique experience by involving community engagement and awareness to a wellness activity platform. Non-Profit Beneficiaries that share a common mission of bringing awareness about critical health, social and environment issues impacting communities are carefully selected.
Aztlan Events also provides event management services to community partners who wish to incorporate health & wellness to their existing events. Aztlan Athletics has the ability to design and customize events that showcase community history, while acknowledging partners in the area that help champion worthy causes.
In 2010, Aztlan Events co-ventured with Molina Healthcare who became the first organization to utilize Aztlan Athletics events for their employee wellness program.
In 2013 two additional companies partnered with us to compliment and strengthen their employee wellness programs.
Aztlan Athletics founded the Homeboy Industries 5K Run/Walk event (2010), Midnight Mission 5/10K Run/Walk and Celebrating Recovery event (May 2013), In recent years, Aquarium of the Pacific 5K Run/Walk (July 2012), and Ohana 5K Run/Walk, which benefits the Salvation Army- Ray & Joan Kroc Centers (December 2013). These additional events also widen the marketing circle for our local, regional and corporate sponsors.

4. Cost reductions
5. Business opportunities
Employee Wellness
Employee Wellness Partnership
Some of the top wellness programs currently in use today include those that involve physical activities. Companies often sponsor exercise-related events such as our 5K and 10K events to encourage employees to remain fit or lose excess weight.
By including our events as part of your corporate wellness program, you are showing your employees that you care about them. This can improve employee morale, increase their productivity and reduce absenteeism.
In addition, partnering with Aztlan Athletics and helping us support worthy causes can also serve as a form of corporate social responsibility and/or corporate philanthropy
Aztlan Athletics would like to invite your company to send a team of employees to participate in our last two events of the year. We are confident that your employees will come away with a sense of fulfillment having exercised, gained an awareness of critical issues/causes and knowing that they gave back to their community.
We look forward to speaking with you to discuss how we can work together to improve our community.
