Dear Sir,

My name is Tyrell Sitton, and I am a 10th grade student-athlete who plays on the Boys Varsity basketball team at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia.  I was recently selected from our State to participate in the 365 Sports and Training Program in Switzerland. I have been invited to represent the United States in this special International Olympic style Tournament for youth basketball teams from all over the world.

I was selected for this honor following an extensive process by the Program Selection Committee.  I will be provided with the opportunity to participate in a training camp with collegiate and professional coaches, compete in the International Olympic style Tournament, interact with other foreign athletes and tour the historical attractions of the host country.  I intend to utilize this opportunity to exchange experiences with youth from different countries.

The Program Tuition is $3895, which includes the training camp, transportation, accommodations and most associated costs.  In order to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity, I need your help.  Currently, I am requesting sponsorship from individuals and businesses to help alleviate the financial cost.

As a sponsor, I will be providing the following benefits to you:

• Your name will appear in the local newspaper recognizing your participation as an official sponsor.
• Every sponsor contributing $150 or more will receive a souvenir from Switzerland and a special personal gift.

I also plan to host a thank you reception upon my return for all my contributors so they can share my experiences.  I am willing to work hard to obtain my goal of traveling to Switzerland this summer, and will participate in a Shoot-a-thon to recognize all of my sponsors.  I hope that you will be willing to give my request serious consideration.  All checks should be made payable to 365 Sports.  In order to make an online sponsor

I would love to discuss this opportunity in greater detail with you.  I thank you in advance for your gracious consideration and support.

Sincerely,

Tyrell Sitton
