Spring Sponsor Drive 2014/15 sponsor drive starts now! Goal: $15,000 in sponsorship donations. Why? – Sponsorships offer the best return for our energy – Avoids having to sell candy bars, beef jerky, fruit, etc. – Local sponsors actually LIKE helping LT kids!

Spring Sponsor Drive How it works… – Each family needs to drive $400+ in sponsorships – We’ve built a list of 237 local businesses. Please select businesses you have a relationship with (owners are the best). – Show them our sponsor packet and ask them to participate. Involving the kids in the process is best. Donations are tax deductible & deliver substantial marketing value. Our 50+ families spend a lot of $$$ in Lake Travis.

Spring Sponsor Drive Sponsorship Saturdays April 26 th & May 3 rd – Groups of students & adult volunteers will distribute sponsor packets to businesses we have no direct access to. – This won’t be nearly as effective, but it is a good way to spread the word about our program. – We’ll continue this until we meet our goal.
