HELP REQUESTED for 4x4 Cruise-In -- ALL HANDS ON DECK
Dear Piston's Wild Club Members, Applicants and Guests:
Attached please find a Word document of the official donation request letter that we will all need in order to gather raffle prizes for the 4x4 Cruise-In event on October 4, 2009. The funds raised from this event will go directly toward building and maintaining motorized trails in the Yacolt Burn Forest.
I am asking for everyone's help to make this event even better than last year's Cruise-In. To make that happen, we will need to gather as many raffle prizes as possible to ensure the same high volume of ticket sales that we experienced last year. With the state of the economy, we will need EVERYONE to contribute to this effort. I would like to set a goal to have 250 raffle prizes before the day of the event - I know that number might sound daunting, but keep in mind that Woody's 4x4 is partnering with us to gather door prizes as well and some club members are already on the hunt!
Please feel free to edit the attached letter to better suit your needs as you take on this task. Whatever works best for you. As a general rule, if I approach a vendor with this letter and a flyer for the event with a brief explation of what the fund raiser is all about - I usually experience about an 80% success rate - for every 10 vendors I approach - 8 will give me "something" and 2 will give some reason why they can't donate.
