Dear

I write you, as a fellow tennis enthusiast, (or say something else personal here if you know them), to
let you know of an opportunity that may interest you and your company. The XYZ Community Tennis
Association is hosting its Third Annual Memorial Tennis Tournament August 25-27, 2007. I invite you
to participate as a sponsor of this event, the premier tennis competition in our region.

Proceeds of the tournament will support disadvantaged junior tennis players in our community who
have promising tennis futures at the college or even professional levels. However, many do not have
the resources to obtain necessary training/coaching or to attend regional competitions. For many of
these teens, a tennis scholarship is their best chance to earn a college education. You might have
seen the recent article about Joe Smith who was recruited by ABC College for his outstanding tennis
credentials. Joe is a graduate of our program, and credits support from the CTA for his success.

Last year our Memorial Tennis Tournament, in only its second year, attracted 100 players and raised
$5,000. With your support this year, and the continuing support of our past sponsors, we feel
confident we can achieve our goal of $10,000 this year.

I have attached a Fact Sheet about the Tournament, and a description of the various sponsorship
opportunities and benefits. In addition to the specific benefits associated with individual sponsorship
levels, sponsors will enjoy increased name recognition and goodwill in the local community. The total
sponsorship package offers exposure that can be more directly targeted, more effective, and less
costly than traditional advertising.

After you have had a chance to review the information enclosed, I would be happy to answer any
questions or custom design a sponsorship package to fit your needs. I will contact you within the
week to follow-up.

I look forward to your support in making our Memorial Tournament a smashing success. Thank you
for your consideration.

Sincerely.

Common questions

Community-focused language underlines the broader social impact, portraying the sponsorship as a community-building initiative. This approach appeals to the sponsors' desire for corporate social responsibility, aligning the sponsorship with values such as empowerment, education, and community development. As a result, it positions the sponsorship not just as funding, but as contributing to societal advancement, thereby enhancing credibility and appeal .

The letters suggest the use of specific sponsorship packages that offer sponsors increased name recognition and goodwill in the local community. Sponsors are promised benefits such as being seen as trusted experts, acknowledgment within the sports community, and targeted exposure that is more effective than traditional advertising methods .

Framing sponsorship as a partnership implies a mutual and ongoing relationship rather than a one-time transaction, which can build a stronger commitment and shared identity. This perspective fosters a sense of joint mission in supporting community growth, encouraging sponsors to feel a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the outcomes. It shifts the focus from simply giving money to actively participating in community betterment, which may appeal to sponsors seeking community engagement and positive public perception .

The letters highlight the dual benefits by outlining how sponsorship not only supports community and sporting events but also offers the sponsoring companies increased exposure and goodwill. Sponsors are portrayed as partners who enable positive social outcomes, such as empowering youth through sports . Additionally, the letters emphasize tangible benefits like targeted marketing and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional advertising, further appealing to the sponsors' business interests .

Fact Sheets are effective as they provide concise, direct information about the event, sponsorship opportunities, and specific benefits. They reduce ambiguity and allow sponsors to quickly assess the value proposition, making decision-making more straightforward. By outlining detailed sponsorship levels and benefits, they can tailor expectations and create a clearer picture of the return on investment .

The letters incorporate personalization by addressing the potential sponsors directly, sometimes with personal affiliations, such as a shared enthusiasm for tennis, which can foster a sense of camaraderie and pride in a shared community vision. This approach can be effective as it builds rapport and makes the sponsorship seem like a personal and mutually beneficial partnership, rather than just a transactional relationship .

The case studies, like Joe Smith's success, serve as compelling evidence of the tangible impact of the sponsorship. By illustrating successful outcomes and attributions to the program, these narratives enhance validity and accountability, making the sponsorship seem like an investment in proven success. This strategy allays potential concerns regarding the effectiveness and reach of their contribution .

Follow-up communication reinforces the initial proposal, demonstrating persistence and genuine interest in the sponsorship. It serves as a reminder, ensures the sponsor has reviewed the materials, and allows for the addressing of any questions or customizations needed. This step is crucial as it keeps the dialogue open, enabling adjustments to meet the sponsor's unique needs and thereby increasing the chances of securing the partnership .

Aligning sponsorship opportunities with a sponsor's corporate values or interests is crucial for enhancing authenticity and commitment. The letters emphasize understanding the sponsor's existing interests, such as sports or community involvement, ensuring the sponsorship aligns with the sponsor's brand ethos. This alignment can lead to more sustained support and enhance the sponsor's image as naturally aligned with community welfare, rather than pursuing it solely for public relations .

Highlighting financial progress and goals adds credibility to the efforts and indicates the event's growth and success. It provides transparency, assuring sponsors of proper fund utilization and the feasibility of reaching set objectives. This can appeal to sponsors by showing a history of achievement and outlining clear targets, implying responsible stewardship of resources and a high likelihood of impact. This transparency may increase trust and willingness to invest .
