What is Wolffest?

WCE's annual fundraiser: a December-to-April campaign of pop-up events that ends in a three-day food festival on the UH campus. Eight teams, one winner, one cause: student support.

  • Houston's area code, F1 energy. We're turning our Wolffest booth into a pit lane, with the whole crew in race jerseys carrying our partners' names.
  • Built to be shared. A pit lane is made for photos and videos, and every shot carries your brand.
  • Run like a business. A CEO, COO, CMO and CFO who answer fast and deliver on time.

Sponsorship packages

Pick your spot on the grid

Every package is a tax-deductible gift to WCE student support, and every one puts your logo on our race jersey. Packages are subject to change.

The tax benefit

Your sponsorship is a tax-deductible gift

Every package goes to the UH College of Business Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 23-7281200). You build your brand and get a charitable deduction, with a gift receipt from the Foundation for your records.

The deductible amount is your contribution minus the fair market value of any benefits you receive, such as the race car experience and merch box. Ask us for those values, and confirm with your tax advisor.
