Dear Potential Sponsor,
I am participating for Central Academy in the mathleague.org High School Math Contest at Iowa State
University. In response to the recent earthquake in Haiti, we have decided to raise funds, all of which will be
donated to the American Red Cross. You can sponsor me for an amount per point I score on the Sprint
Round test, or you can name a fixed amount that you will donate. After the contest, I will return to tell you
how many points I scored and collect your contribution. Make checks to American Red Cross. Thank you!

Red Cross Fundraiser by Central Academy Math Team
mathleague.org Iowa State University Math Contest
Saturday, February 13, 2010
Our fundraiser combines our love of math contests with the remarkable need for relief due to the earthquake
in Haiti. By simply participating in the contest at ISU and asking a few people to sponsor you, you can take
part in making a very large difference! If 500 students on that date all average $50 to $100 collected in
donations, then $25,000 to $50,000 will be donated to the Red Cross from this effort!!!
Our goal is to help the American Red Cross by raising at least $50 per student. We hope that each student
will surpass this goal. We hope to raise as much money as possible to turn over to the American Red Cross.
mathleague.org will post the total amount raised at http://mathleague.org/haiti as amounts collected are
confirmed.
Rules
1. Students may start collecting pledges as soon as they receive the pledge sheets. Remember to fill out
the form at http://mathleague.org/haiti to let us know you’ll be participating.
2. Each sponsor making a pledge should write their own name, address, and pledge per
point or fixed pledge. Students may collect the pledge in advance but should keep pledges until all
are collected.
3. During the week following the contest, take your pledge form with your score on top to
your sponsors and collect their donation. Thank them kindly.
4. Do not be afraid to ask people. You are doing a good thing and people want to help this cause.
5. Be sure to fill out the form at http://mathleague.org/haiti after you’ve finished collecting pledges,
then send your donations to mathleague.org or to your local chapter of the American Red Cross. If
you send your pledges to mathleague.org, mail them along with your pledge form to PO Box 111,
Sparta WI 54656. If you choose to send your donations directly to the American Red Cross, please
send your pledge form to mathleague.org for our records, either by mailing it to the address above or
by scanning the form and emailing it to mathleague@mathleague.org.
