Dear Alumni and/or Business,
We have exciting news! We are looking for sponsors to help fund the 2020-2021 cheerleading team in their hopeful journey to a State Championship. The athletes will be participating in multiple camps/clinics, as well as multiple competitions all leading up to the State Competition in December of 2020, but we need your help.
In return for your sponsorship, we are starting a Paint the Paw fundraiser. We will be painting paws leading to the high school and student parking lots. Here are some options that we would like to provide for you:
A paw with your name and graduation year
A paw with your business name
A paw to honor your whole graduating class
A paw to honor a lost classmate
Would you consider sponsoring our club and donating $50.00 to help us send these athletes to camp, competition, and purchase other supplies related to competition?
We are so grateful for what our sponsors just like you have helped us accomplish over the years, including sponsoring our Little Cats Cheer Camp for our future cheerleaders. We’re immensely thankful to our past, present, and future sponsors!
We hope you’re able to contribute and thank you for your consideration.
To make a contribution, simply mail your gift to the above address with this letter, hand deliver your gift to Mena High School, or meet with a MHS Cheerleader when they stop by your business on Monday, April 6th. See back for order form.
Many thanks in advance for your sponsorship! Go CATS!
Sincerely,
Andrea Hughes
P.S. We would love to see you at opening night in Bearcat Stadium on September 11, 2020 at 7pm.
