It would be my pleasure to speak with you regarding the Herb Haygood Off Season Skills Camp. The Herb Haygood Off Season Skills Camp is a non-profit organization created to reach youth from diverse ranges of cultural, demographic, and academic backgrounds by raising funds through various camps and charity events in order to purchase and donate football equipment to under funded local schools incapable of providing current equipment to its participants. The camp is dedicated to guiding the youth to success by teaching fundamentals and skills necessary to increase individual and team performance on and off the field.
I feel very passionate about offering this camp to the youth of Sarasota and surrounding communities as I am blessed to have my hometown roots in Sarasota, FL. I graduated from Sarasota High School in 1997 and went on to play collegiate football at Michigan State University, and traveled the world playing in the National Football League, European League, Canadian Football League, and Arena Football League, I have high aspirations to begin giving back to the community by dedicating myself to helping kids and aspiring athletes.
With the generous support of area sponsors we plan to provide expertise in the areas of coaching and incorporate special guest speakers covering topics such as leadership, attitude, substance abuse, and the importance of education. These coaches and guest speakers scheduled to teach and inspire the youth throughout the week will represent such organizations as the NCAA and the NFL.
Individuals and/or Companies offering their support will receive recognition in various camp publications depending on sponsorship level, on the camp website, during the introduction of the event itself, as well as the chance to attend the camp so that we could thank you personally for your support.
The estimated camp attendance will be 200+ area youth per camp. The Youth Skills Camp, offered for grades 5th-8th will take place July 16th-17th, 2007 and the High School Skills Camp, offered for grades 9th-12th will take place July 18th-20th, 2007. Sarasota High School has been incredibly generous in offering their superb athletic facilities in order to help make this camp a success for all!
This sponsorship opportunity is your chance to assist in the development of the local youth by providing them with the opportunity to enjoy the game of football and the camaraderie that come with the team environment. In return, our hope is that this camp will inspire the youth to be leaders and team players on the field as well as in our communities.
If you have any questions or require further information about sponsorship or other aspects of the Herb Haygood Off Season Skills Camp, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
Respectfully,
Herb Haygood |
