Dear Community Member,

The Palo Alto Knights Youth Football program provides a very positive athletic environment for approximately 150 youth ages 5 to 14.  In fact, we have been formally recognized by national organizations as an example of outstanding citizenship and also for our scholastic achievement.

Youth football requires a considerable investment in the safest, most modern equipment available.  The Knights organization must also pay for the use of athletic fields, personnel, equipment storage, liability insurance, referees and emergency medical personnel to name a few.  As school budgets reduce, organizations such as the Palo Alto Knights football program have become an important provider of physical education for today’s active youth.

We’re asking for tax-deductible donations of $1,000, $500 or $250 to support our program.  In return, we will feature your business in a full page ($1,000), half-page ($500) or quarter page ($250) ad in our 2010 program published in October and sold throughout our season.  The program is a combination yearbook and game program.  It contains team and individual photos, rosters and other information about the 2010 Palo Alto Knights as well as advertisements from our supporting businesses.  An additional option features your business card for $100.

Please send your tax deductible donation and the copy of your advertisement to:

Palo Alto Knights

P.O. Box 403

Palo Alto, CA. 94302

or return it to your favorite player or parent by September 22nd.  We will send you a receipt by mail.  We accept electronic copies of your ad (send to paloaltoknights@gmail.com).  If you require additional information about the Knights, please see our web site (www.PaloAltoKnights.com) or contact me at spainsdj@comcast.net and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.  The Palo Alto Knights are a 501c non-profit organization, Tax ID#23-7180802.

Thank you for your consideration.  Our organization benefits from the generosity of people like you.

Sincerely,

Jill M. Spain
