Dear Potential Sponsor, The Annual Murder Mystery Dinner to benefit The SHORE Foundation is scheduled for November 9, 2013 at Stratigo’s in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. We are seeking your help by agreeing to be a Corporate Sponsor for the event. We have been able to help many families over the past year largely because of sponsors who have helped in the past. Please consider being a part of this cause again by one or more of these options; Becoming one of our level sponsors shown on the 2 nd page of this letter Donating a gift in kind, Providing a door prize or Providing an auction basket, or silent auction item. The 2013Dinner is given for organ donation recipients and in loving memory of our 19 year old daughter, Sarah Lynn Budd, who was killed in an auto accident, June 24th 2007. Sarah’s life ended abruptly, but she offered life and hope to others by donating multiple organs. A tragedy that no parent should endure, but thanks to modern medicine and donor awareness there were 3 people that began a new journey that day. Our loss was devastating but it was out of our despair that we decided celebrate Sarah’s life, so The SHORE Foundation was formed. The Foundation seeks to continue Sarah’s passion and love for people. We offer organ recipients and their families, financial help. Over the past year our mission to relieve recipient’s expenses that are not covered by traditional insurance, Medicare, or Medical Assistance has become a reality. Providing more families’ anti-rejection drugs, they were no longer able to afford. We were able to provide hundreds of dollars in food gift certificates and have granted over five thousand dollars to families through the remainder of 2013. The Foundation continues to concentrate on the following: Aid Monetarily in housing, food, gas, child care expenses, anti-rejection medications, to name a few, that add undue stress on a patients recovery. Working with other organizations, such as Family House, to fund these expenses after a need is assessed Raising educational Donor Awareness The 2013 Annual Murder Mystery Dinner is a fun event that many attend and help us successfully raise and meet our goals. Last year we exceeded our goal thanks to generous sponsors. Those monies are allocated to families in need of additional financial help. The Foundation event is advertised in local newspapers and will be requesting news coverage at the dinner to help raise awareness for this worthy but overlooked cause. Ashlie Hardway from WTAE is this year’s emcee. We have many sponsorship levels, and hope that your company will participate at a level that is comfortable.
