Re: Sponsorship of Cultural and Academic Tour to Washington, Philadelphia and New York
Taking the 'First Step in any endeavor is always a very integral part of 'the plan', we salute you for taking it, by taking the time to read this request for your tax deductible contribution that will offset the cost of $15,000.00 to help sponsor 15 students on a trip to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Pa and Long Island, NY for an eight day and seven night academic & cultural performance tour scheduled for March 14th-23rd, 2008.
Season 2007, Sparkle Dance Company toured New Orleans, La. and performed at The Hall of Flags at Dallas City Hall for Dr. Maxine Thornton-Reese, Councilor District 4 and a performance for the seniors at the JW Peavey Center in Houston, Texas where District B Councilor Jarvis Johnson and Mayor Bill White presented Company dancers proclamations for an outstanding performance. That Tour was an unforgettable experience.
We need your help to make this dream come true for these 15 young people who have work so hard for this opportunity. Please be aware that Sparkle is a non-profit organization, which means that your sponsorship is tax deductible. Our 501(c)(3) information is available upon request. With your monetary support you are making an investment back into the community and giving a positive statement that you care about what happens to the future of our youth. As a sponsor you will also receive recognition on our web site and be listed on our Wall of Honor as a sponsor for Sparkle’s 2008 Season Tour. Please see enclosed sponsorship page for more details.
Sparkle's performance base programs utilize motivational techniques as well as hands-on learning experiences for the students. All of our students can attest to what happens if someone gives them the opportunity to do something positive. They exceed expectations because someone cares and places a positive value on what they can take pride in.
Thank you, for taking the time and the First Step toward cultivating positive self esteem in our youth and recognizing the need for public support of the Arts and Computer Literacy in our communities.
