2010 SWIM�A-THON�
Sponsor Letter INSTRUCTION
SHEET
Sponsor letters should be addressed to those family
members, friends, neighbors, and local small businesses (dentist, doctors,
lawyers, insurance agent, etc.) that you think might be willing to support your
swim club. Mail the completed forms with the King Boosters return envelope (the
small envelope) and the pledges will be returned directly to KING Boosters.
This way the swimmer will not deal directly with money and we can keep track of
the pledges. Our goal is for each swimmer to send out at least 10 letters or
emails to potential sponsors.
HOW TO FILL OUT THE SPONSOR LETTER
- Enter the sponsor�s name at the top of the
letter (i.e. Dear Grandma). Fill out as many letters as you can
to relatives, friends, neighbors, and local businesses.
- Enter the swimmer(s) name in the �This is
__________� spot.
- Sign your letter below the �Thank You�. You can
also add a personal note thanking your sponsor for their support and
enthusiasm, enclose a picture with your letter, or enclose a second page
that is a customized letter with info about your swimming
accomplishments, pictures, your club, etc.
- At the bottom of the letter, remember to write
the full name of your sponsor and your full swimmer name. This way when
the sponsor returns the bottom portion, we will know which swimmer to
credit.
- Accurately address the larger envelope with
the Sponsor�s Name and Address.
- Fold the letter (two folds) so it fits in the
larger envelope. Place the folded letter and the smaller envelope in the
larger envelope.
- Place a stamp on the outside envelope, seal the
envelope, and put the letter in the mail.
- Now, all YOU
have to do is swim 200 lengths or swim for two hours and hope you win
some terrific prizes.
GOOD LUCK KING SWIMMERS!!!!
