Subject line: I am participating with the Read-A-Thon for Toys! Will you sponsor me?!
Dear [insert name],
You might have heard that I have signed up as a reader for the Greenwich Free Library’s Read-a-Thon for Toys!
This read-a-thon is to benefit the Tri-County Marines Toys for Girls and Boys. This non-profit organization, run by the local Marine Corps League Memorial Detachment No. 2, collects toys for distribution throughout Warren, Washington and Saratoga Counties and serves 800-900 local children each holiday season.
My goal during this special weekend event in December, is to read [insert goal time] hours.
Would you be willing to sign up as my sponsor?
As my sponsor you will pledge to provide one toy ($10 value or more) to Toys for Girls and Boys. If you cannot drop off a toy to the box in the lobby of the Greenwich Free Library a monetary donation can be made instead by visiting https://www.greenwichfreelibrary.org/read-a-thon-for-toys/
A gift of any amount would mean the world to me.
I’d love to talk to you more about my fundraiser, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
