The event supports providing free school supplies to Indianapolis teachers of students in need
INDIANAPOLIS, March 12, 2026 – Ƶ® (ACE) is proud to sponsor the 11th Annual Circle City Donut Dash 5K in support of Teachers’ Treasures, a local nonprofit that ensures Indianapolis teachers have access to supplies. The event is slated for Saturday, March 21, 2026, and all proceeds go toward the cause.
Voted one of the Top 8 Food Runs in the United States by Culture Trip, the Circle City Donut Dash 5K is a can’t-miss local tradition that allows Teachers’ Treasures to provide millions of dollars’ worth of free school supplies to teachers annually.
“It’s our pleasure to support Teachers’ Treasures and the incredible work they do,” ACE President and CEO Geordie Hyland said. “Their unwavering commitment to providing what teachers need at no cost is something we support in our own mission, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
Headquartered in Indianapolis, ACE has more than 1,800 current students and alumni in Indiana and provides education solutions to local K-12 school districts by upskilling nearly 1,500 educators. The college also supports other local education-focused organizations, such as the Indiana Association of Public Education Foundation.
“Our mission is to ease the financial burden on teachers across the Indianapolis area,” Teachers’ Treasures Executive Director Margaret Sheehan said. “We’re so grateful to ACE for serving as the presenting sponsor each year since we started this fundraiser. It’s fun, exciting and a great time for all while showing our appreciation for teachers.”
Returning this year is the popular Donut Challenge, where in-person participants can attempt to eat a dozen donut holes at the race’s halfway point. They can also choose to enjoy them afterward. Virtual racers can walk, run or simply eat donuts from anywhere. There will also be a donut-themed costume contest.
Teachers who register for the event will receive a shopping voucher for Teachers’ Treasures, valid until the end of the school year.
