Have you considered sponsorships?

Hello everyone, 

I know you could use some extra help raising money for this trip. We will be doing another coffee fundraiser before you leave for break next week so that you can take your brochures home over the holiday. However, I would like for us all to brainstorm and come up with some other ways you can reach your goal for this trip.

One idea is to write a sponsorship letter. This could be something you present to a business (particularly one that you might have some sort of affiliation with, or one that is related to the Arts in some way), a family member and/or friend of the family, etc.

These letters generally outline the purpose for which you are raising money, why it will benefit you educationally, how much you are hoping to raise, etc.

I found a really great resource on the EF Tours website (the tour group that most of our international travelers tour with) that may be a good place for you to start, or to give you ideas. It will be up to you to take the time to look it over and act on it. I just wanted to make you aware of the resource.

If you have any other ideas for raising funds, either individually, or for a group, please share them here or come see me personally.

In addition to the coffee sales, I am also planning a bowling night fundraiser in January. Stay tuned for more details about this...
