Corrigan Sports Enterprises (CSE) announced today that Dunkin' Donuts and USAA have signed on as sponsors of the 2007 Under Armour Baltimore Running Festival. This marks the first time each of these companies have been affiliated with the seven- year event.

Dunkin' Donuts, the world's largest coffee and baked goods chain, serving more than 3 million customers per day, will be the Official Coffee and Breakfast Supplier of the Baltimore Running Festival. Members of the local Fire Departments will be on hand to serve food and beverages with portions of the proceeds benefiting the Fire Department Foundation.

"Dunkin' Donuts is excited to be a part of the Baltimore Marathon not just because it is a major event in the region but also because it benefits so many local charities," stated Stacey Carroll, Regional Marketing Director.

USAA has signed on as the sponsor of the USAA Armed Forces Challenge (AFC). USAA is a full financial services company, which provides insurance, banking, and investments for the military and their families. Courtesy of USAA, the AFC provides marathon, half-marathon, and team relay racers who have served or are currently serving in the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, or Navy with a $5 discount off of the entry fee and separate prizes and awards. In addition, the first 500 AFC runners who finish their race are eligible for a special USAA Finishers T-Shirt.

"USAA is proud to honor the sacrifices of our military members by sponsoring the USAA Armed Forces Challenge," said Mayra Rivera, Executive Marketing Director of USAA. "We've served the military and their families for more than 80 years, and we understand the challenges, sacrifices, and rewards that come with wearing the uniform."
