also here is the template that was suggested in another thread


Hello,

My name is _______ andI am a Board Member for the Marine Aquarium Society of Colorado (MASC). MASC is attempting to get into contact with someone regarding your companies' ability to donate to the raffle of our upcoming Summer event.

The event we are planning will take place in June of 2013 and will encompass a frag swap with an estimated 10+ vendors, several industry speakers, and raffles throughout the event. We would like to invite your company to donate to our raffle and provide MASC with flyers,product information and even a banner/poster that we could display at our eventto show who supported or club’s event. If your company would be interested in have a booth at the event please contact MASC at board@marinecolorado.org so we can workout the details and booth space that you would prefer.

MASC is the largest group of saltwater hobbyists in the state of Colorado with 2100+ members, and we continue to grow every day. Our goal as a club is to increase awareness among members and the public of the importance and value ofmarine ecosystems and their preservation through captive propagation andresponsible collection of organisms. We are dedicated to the endorsement,education, and fellowship of marine aquarium hobbyists. We act on these goalsat monthly club meetings, and at bi-annual frag swaps. Our events typically draw hobbyists from all through out Colorado and even some from surrounding states.


Our most recent event in December of 2012 we had an estimated crowd of 200+ people throughout the day. At that event we focused on the frag swap and did not have any speakers. Adding the speakers to our event this summer we can only anticipate that our attendance will increase with the additional benefits to the attendees.

Any donations will be gladly received and put to use at our Summer 2013 event to generate revenue for our club so that we can continue to grow the hobbyist community in Colorado and work to create a knowledge base that is welcoming foranyone.

I appreciate your time, and look forward to working with you in the future! I hope you certainly consider sponsoring our event!

Thank you!

Re: Sponsors for Donations - Solicitation List and Email Template

This one is modified for REEF ed. Please use this one.

Here is what I have just typed up. Please modify/spell check and look for errors please everyone. *ALSO be sure you include your name at top and bottom where i have __________.

Hello,

My name is _________ and I am a Board Member for the Marine Aquarium Society of Colorado (MASC). I am also part of our club’s Sponsorship Committee and we would like to get in contact with whom it may concern regarding your companies' sponsorship of our local reef club.

MASC is the largest group of saltwater hobbyists in the state of Colorado with 2,100+ members, and we continue to grow every day. Our goal as a club is to increase awareness among members and the public of the importance and value of marine ecosystems and their preservation through captive propagation and responsible collection of organisms. We are dedicated to the endorsement, education, and fellowship of marine aquarium hobbyists. We act on these goals at monthly club meetings, and at bi-annual frag swaps. Our events typically draw hobbyists from all throughout Colorado and even some from surrounding states.

As a club we look to our sponsors to provide support via raffle items, literature, product knowledge support and even the opportunity for representation at our events. We offer many different levels of sponsorship to make it affordable to anyone who is interested. In return, depending on the level of sponsorship, we offer perks like website banner advertisement, exposure to one of the largest group of reef hobbyists in the state and even the opportunity to have our own forum where members can post questions and get answers directly from you. I have a sponsorship policy/agreement that I can send to you that gives more detail about the different perks/guidelines for each level. The details can also be found on our website at www.marinecolorado.org or sponsorship info at http://www.marinecolorado.org/forums/faq.php?faq=masc_faq_list#faq_masc_faq_sponsor.

Anything that you can give will be gladly received and put to use throughout our fiscal year to generate revenue for our club so that we can continue to grow the hobbyist community in Colorado and work to create a knowledge base that is welcoming for anyone. I would also like to give you some insight into our upcoming event on June 22, which is our annual Reef Ed event. It is both an educational seminar event with speakers such as Scott Fellman and Jake Adams from Reebuilders.com; but it is also a coral swap and sale. This will be our biggest fundraising event for the year, with the bulk of the funds coming from raffled donated items. With that being said anything you might donate will be gladly accepted and will help generate funds that allow the club and hobbyist community in Colorado to grow and help our club work to create a knowledge base that is welcoming for anyone.

I appreciate your time, and consideration for your potential sponsorship and or donations towards our upcoming event. We hope you will certainly consider sponsoring our club and we look forward to developing a long lasting/great relationship with you in the future! Lastly, if there are any questions or thoughts I can answer for you, please do not hesitate to email and or call.
Respectfully,

___________________

Re: Sponsors for Donations - Solicitation List and Email Template

I'll also take section 2.

I think we need to make sure that unless they want to become actual sponsors we should keep all reef ed specific items separate. I was thinking that se could just add them to the first post in thread vs main raffle item list.

Thoughts?
