Dear [Insert Name]
Statistics show 1-in-2 men and 1-in-3 women in America will face cancer in their lifetime – a staggering
fact. The [Event Name] is dedicated to changing these odds and I write to invite [Company Name] to
join our fight against cancer by sponsoring our great event, which supports Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute’s ultimate mission of finding a cure.
[Insert brief synopsis of your event HERE. Include things like: story of why you run the event,
amount of funds raised to date, your goal for this year, why their support will help make that goal
possible. If you need additional information/facts on Dana-Farber, please contact your advocate].
I’ve enclosed materials that describe the event and the various sponsorship levels offered. It is my hope
that we can count on your commitment to help us attain our goal of [insert $ goal].
Since 1948, Dana-Farber has been committed to one mission: giving cancer patients the best, most
compassionate care today while finding cures for tomorrow. While this unique balance of research and
care has seen incredible success, it is far from enough. More people are getting cancer than ever before
and the cure(s) still elude us. You can help bring us closer.
On behalf of the [Event Name] Committee, Dana-Farber, and most importantly, the thousands of patients
who benefit from our event, I want to thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please
contact me at [telephone] or visit our event website [website address].
