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. Attached is
a sponsorship form that details the tiers and advertising opportunities in one of the areas fastest growing housing and retail
communities. Enclosed is a brochure, if you or any of your employees would like to attend the event. Reservations can
also be made online at www.theshorefoundation.org.
The SHORE Foundation cordially invites you and your employees to share in our compassion for organ recipients,
while encouraging those families that have experienced the loss of a child but provided others a second chance. Hope to
see you on the 9th of November, so I can personally thank you for your support.
We know you would agree that actively participating in this event and future events will benefit many.
