Dear perspective sponsor,
My performance group, MarcusMillerDrums, is preparing to launch the So Cal Drums project, a series of monthly drum circles designed to impact a number local communities throughout Southern California. I am sure that your company has in its mission statement a desire to give back to the local community. To that end, I am writing you concerning a sponsorship opportunity with the So Cal Drums project.
In an effort to help activate some non-traditional performance spaces and bring about more community engagement and interaction, MarcusMillerDrums will facilitate a monthly series of free, family-friendly drum circles. The series will commence in January 2020 and rotate between designated host sites in selected cities. The duration of each event will be approximately 90-120 minutes. Drums will be provided by co-sponsor Remo Inc.
The goal is to bring people together in local communities to participate and share in the global cultural tradition of social drumming. I have facilitated many such similar drumming events for over the past 20 years throughout Southern California and have found that social drumming interactions are generally an entertaining, educational, multi-cultural, and holistically healthy experience.
As a sponsor, you can designate a potential site that you would like to see activated. For example, there may be a specific school, church, or other institution that you would like to benefit from this unique engagement opportunity. Otherwise, a site will be chosen in your local community as a selected venue.
Your financial support covers all of the related costs associated with each monthly event. These costs include a facilitator fee, venue rental fee, liability insurance, and any other related incidental expenses. Your support will help to ensure that the project commences on the proposed scheduled timeline. Your continued support will help ensure that this becomes a sustainable event that can become a part of each community’s regular monthly schedule of activities. In addition, your company's logo will be displayed on all promotional material and if available, your company's banner will be displayed at every event.
While any amount of assistance would be greatly appreciated, here are some suggested donations and how they would help impact this project:
• $500 per month would provide a year of monthly drum circles to two (2) different sites/locations.
• $300 per month would provide a year of monthly drum circles to one (1) site/location.
Please contact me if your organization is interested in sponsoring So Cal Drums. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marcus Miller
