Subject: Potential Sponsorship Opportunity: Community Fundraiser for Ellie’s Hats

Hi [Name],

I’m helping with a local fundraiser in September that’s raising money for Ellie’s Hats, a nonprofit supporting kids with cancer.

It’s a great community event with sponsorship opportunities from $800 to $12,000, and all donations go directly to the organization.

Let me know if this is something we might want to support—I can connect you with the organizer.

Thanks!

Subject: Potential Sponsorship Opportunity: Community Fundraiser for Ellie’s Hats

Hi [Name],

I wanted to pass along a community fundraiser I’m involved with in September that supports Ellie’s Hats, a nonprofit that helps children with cancer and their families through care packages and direct financial assistance.

The event is well established, draws more than 300+ attendees, and has raised over $130,000 for various causes over the past few years. This year’s goal is to raise $35,000, and there are several sponsorship opportunities ranging from $800 to $12,000.

All donations go directly to Ellie’s Hats through a secure giving platform. Sponsors are recognized throughout the event and in event materials.

If this is something we might consider supporting, I’m happy to connect you with the organizer or share more details.

Thanks for taking a look.

Best,
