Endorsement Letter

Dear Timberwolves Supporters:

 

The Twin PeaksCharterAcademy is working with Side Effects, Inc. to acquire new state-of-the-art LED Daktronics Basketball Scoreboards to be used for all of our sporting events held in our high school and middle school gymnasiums. 

 

Several hundred community members plus visitors from surrounding areas will view your advertisement during athletic contests held in our gyms.

 

The attractive advertising panels will display our sponsors, and the state of the art capabilities will help keep our facilities top of the line. 

 

I am certain the local fans that support our Timberwolves will appreciate your sponsorship and reward you with their patronage.  I wish to extend my thanks for your consideration to become a sponsor for the new top-of-the-line scoreboards.

 

A professional representative from Side Effects, Inc. will be contacting you to discuss this excellent opportunity to proudly showcase your business throughout the school year at Twin Peaks Charter Academy.

Thank you for your continued loyal support of our Timberwolves student-athletes and the entire community.

Box Top LogoBox Tops for Education

Remember to collect those Box Tops. We will be having a classroom contest to see which classes collect the most Box Tops for Education. Look for Box Tops on products you already buy. Be sure to register at http://www.boxtops4education.com/ and track our progress.

Our goal this year is $2,432.00. If every student turns in just 3 per month we will make our goal.

Box Tops funds help the PTO support Twin Peaks Charter Academy, our teachers and their classrooms.

If you have any questions, contact our volunteer Box Tops Coordinator Marni Cherniss at (303) 485-0146 or marnierin@msn.com.
