Dear <<Name>>,
The Massachusetts Association for the Blind respectfully
requests <<company>> to be the <<Platinum Sponsor>>
for the Team With A Vision 5K Run & Walk on Saturday, September
13, 2003. Partnering with the Team is an innovative way for <<company>>
to gain broad visibility and exposure, while helping to educate
our community about the capabilities of people who are blind or
visually impaired, and the services available to assist them.
We are expecting more than 1,000 participants for this momentous
event!
This year, the Massachusetts Association for the
Blind is joining with The Carroll Center for the Blind, Foundation
Fighting Blindness, Greater Boston Aid to the Blind, National
Braille Press, New England Eye Institute, Perkins School for the
Blind and Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic to significantly
expand the event. This level of collaboration is unprecedented
in the Boston blindness community, and a great deal of work must
be accomplished if this joint Run & Walk is to be a success.
Our goal is to raise more than $200,000 for technology, adaptive
equipment, literacy programs and services that enhance the quality
of life of thousands of people experiencing sight loss.
The Team With A Vision 5K Run & Walk is a demonstration
of the capabilities of blind and visually impaired individuals.
The run has been designated The New England 5K Visually Impaired
Championship, and as this event continues to grow, we expect the
run to be the premier road race for the visually impaired.
We sincerely hope
that <<company>> will become the <<Platinum
Sponsor>> and join the 2003 Team With A Vision. Proceeds
from your sponsorship will directly benefit the Massachusetts
Association for the Blind and help strengthen programs and
services that help people with vision loss break down the
barriers they face in their everyday lives. Enclosed you will
find information about our sponsorship opportunities.
If you have any questions or would like more details about the
event or forming a company team, please call me at 617-732-0238
or my associate Joseph Quintanilla at 617-732-0241.
Thank you in advance for your support. Your involvement
will make a difference!
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Collins
Executive Director
