Dear __________________,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request your support for Westridge Elementary School, a local elementary school in Provo, UT. As a member of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), I am leading the fundraising committee to organize various community events throughout the 2024-2025 school year.

The 2024-2025 school year promises to be our most ambitious yet, with a lineup of events, programs, and initiatives. To make these events a reality, we rely on the support of businesses like _________________. Your sponsorship will not only help us achieve our goals but also offer your business and brand valuable exposure to a diverse and engaged audience. We are seeking corporate donations or sponsorships for the following events:

• 5K Run (October 26, 2024): This community event promotes physical health and wellness for students, families, and the whole community.
• Read Across America Week (March 2025): This week-long in-school event celebrates reading and literacy.
• Multicultural Festival (April 2025): This community event promotes diversity, cultural awareness, and understanding.
• Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2025): This week-long in-school event recognizes and celebrates the hard work and dedication of our teachers.

Attached to this email is our sponsorship levels which outlines the various levels of support and the associated benefits. Each level is designed to provide maximum visibility and return on investment.

Your payment may be made through cash, a check made out to “Westridge Elementary School PTO,” or you can pay through our Square account HERE [add clickable link]. Westridge Elementary PTO is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and is therefore a tax-exempt organization. Your donation is tax deductible as allowed by law.

We would be happy to discuss sponsorship opportunities further and provide you with additional information about our events. Please feel free to contact me by responding to this message and I can get you more information.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

The Westridge Elementary School PTO
