Riverside Community 10K โ Sponsorship Invitation
[Date]
[Manager name] [Running-shoe shop name] [Address]
Dear [Manager name],
Who we are and the event
I organise the Riverside Community 10K, a charity run raising money for [children's hospital name]. This year's run takes place on Sunday 12 September 2027 in [park name], with 1,200 runners and around 3,000 spectators expected along the course and in the race village.
Why we are writing to you
Our runners are exactly the people who walk through your door: local people who train regularly, buy shoes and kit, and talk to each other about where they shop. A visible presence at the run puts [shop name] in front of 1,200 runners and 3,000 spectators on the day, and in front of every entrant in the months of emails and web traffic before it. We would rather have a local running shop as our partner than a national brand with no link to the area.
Sponsorship levels
| Level | Cost | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | ยฃ2,000 | Logo on race shirts and the finish arch; a stand at the race village |
| Silver | ยฃ750 | Logo on the event website and all race-day emails |
| In kind | Shoes or vouchers for prizes | Thanks from the stage at the prize-giving |
Levels can be combined โ for example, a Gold sponsorship plus vouchers for the prize table.
Past results
Last year's run raised ยฃ48,000 for the hospital. [figure needed: last year's runner and spectator numbers, if different from this year's]
Deadline and contact
To get your logo onto the race shirts, we need confirmation by 30 June 2027, when the shirt print goes to the supplier. I would be glad to call in to the shop and talk it through, or to answer any questions by phone or email.
Thank you for considering it.
Yours sincerely,
Grace Mwangi Organiser, Riverside Community 10K [phone] [email]
