Hello, my name is __________________, and I am a (committee member OR team ambassador) of Howell High School’s Relay For Life chapter. Relay For Life is a youth event partnered with the American Cancer Society, making efforts to find a cure for cancer through hosting fundraisers, collecting donations, and furthering research.

Every year, our school hosts a community-based, all-night event, and this year we have a goal of raising $100,000. We believe we can reach this goal, but we are going to need your help, and we are hoping your (business /team / organization / etc.) could get more involved.

We are aware of the current difficulties for many local shops and restaurants amidst the chaos of this pandemic, but we are hopeful that we can get through these times together. And our youth organization would love to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with (business / team /organization / etc.)! I have attached our 2022-23 information packet, which provides more instruction on potential sponsorship opportunities. Please feel free to reply with any questions or concerns.

We look forward to working with you soon. And please follow us on Instagram
