Dear Sponsor:
All
of us representing the COMETS thank you for your support. Last year’s season was once again a great
success for the 132+ players that participated. All of our 13 teams made it to their
respective national tournaments representing the Mid Atlantic region. Our
12U, 15U and 16U were represented in the Middle Atlantic Championship
game. We took home an unprecedented 2
Mid Atlantic Championships with our 15U and 16U both winning easily. Both (15U and 16U) finished in the Top 20 at
AAU Nationals. We again sponsored our
own tournament in June (20th annual), with over 80 teams from the
east coast participating. Our tournament
remains one of the premier girl’s AAU events of the summer season.
Our
mission remains the same, to provide a highly competitive outlet for local
female student athletes. Our program
encompasses ages 9 through 17 and our players come from public, private ad
parochial schools in your communities. Over
30 of our alumnae are currently playing at the collegiate level, at such
schools as Villanova, Drexel, St. Joseph’s University, Penn, LaSalle, UCONN, Umass, UNC Charlotte, Columbia
University, Neumann College, University of Sciences, Albright, Cornell and
University of Scranton. Our objective is
to teach the concept of teamwork, the joy of competition and the chance to
develop their skills on a higher level.
We are getting
ready for the 2008 season and we hope that you will be able to help us. Again, we are sponsoring an ad book – see
attached sheet for details. This book
will be distributed at our tournament and is a great vehicle to put your ad in
front of potential customers who will appreciate your support of our
programs. The ad book is our primary
source of revenue to support our program; every dollar raised is spent on the
teams. The cost of insurance and gym
rentals from local schools has escalated and much our revenue goes for these
expenses.
Please
support our teams and your local athletes with an advertisement. An investment in the youth of our community
today will reap great dividends for your community in the future. We thank you for your generosity. Your donation is also 100% tax deductable.
