Dear Potential Sponsor,
Dream Big & the Albuquerque Police Department invite you to become a sponsor for the third annual “Kutz 4 Kidz Back to School Event” to benefit underprivileged children in our community. This exciting event will be held August 7th, 2016 at Expo New Mexico Villa Hispana from 10:00am-3:00pm. This is a charity event that will provide free professional haircuts, backpacks, and school supplies for underprivileged children, while building relationships with the men and women who protect their lives every day.
For many children, it is the first time in their life where they can have a positive interaction with a Police Officer. In addition to fostering positive relationships with local law enforcement, children will be given the school supplies needed to begin their school year. This will not only help with their self-confidence but show them that there are people in the community who want to see them succeed and know that they matter.
The average cost of school supplies per student in the Greater Albuquerque Area ranges from $35 to $55 (depending on grade level)! Many children served at this event, have little or no means to return to school with the proper school supplies needed. We want to help the children feel comfortable going back to school.
The primary source of funding for “Kutz 4 Kidz” is from corporate sponsors, such as you. The “Kutz 4 Kidz ” Event receives no governmental funds.
Last year we were able to provide free haircuts to over 1000 youth, sadly we only had enough school supplies for a little over 500 youth. Our goal for the 2016 “Kutz 4 Kidz” is to serve 3,000 youth with both haircuts & school supplies! Your donations will help offset the cost of the event & buy the needed school supplies.
The event will also include a free BBQ, demonstrations of APD’s specialized units, live youth entertainment, autographs from UFC Fighters & Local/National Athletes, Car Show, and tons of other family friendly activities for all participants & their families.
Your sponsorship will help assure the success of “Kutz 4 Kidz”. Enclosed please find more information on this exciting event and its sponsorship levels. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. We hope that we can count on your support.
Sincerely,
