DEAR PATRON:
City Dance would like to respectfully request your contribution
of $200.00 towards our educational concert, Visionary Steps, at
Rice University's Hamman Hall, on Friday, 12/09/2005 at 10.30
am. This Concert Series, intended primarily for school children
from underserved communities in Houston, will use dance and physical
motion as an artistic medium to impart significant life lessons,
ranging anywhere from the values of hard work and discipline to
the merits of responsible citizenship. We ask for your assistance
in our continuing mission to spread the art of dance to as large
and as diverse a population as possible.
At City Dance, we believe that a physically active and artistically
vibrant lifestyle is the key to uplifting both individuals and
the community. It would be a privilege to share our message with
that of your organization, a magazine as committed as we are to
the interrelated concepts of physical and overall health and wellness.
As an official sponsor, your company will enjoy a public presence
as a corporate contributor throughout City Dance's promotional
materials including our brochures, flyers, press releases, signage,
and website. Also, we will announce your company's name as a corporate
sponsor at all of City Dance's performances.
As City Dance's Artistic Manager and founder, I started this organization
in 1994, as a way to provide the community the opportunity to
learn, watch, and produce dance performances. Stressing the importance
of artistic and cultural diversity, City Dance supports its own
Professional Company, a diverse group of dancers committed to
their own development and to sharing their talents and experiences
with others, and an entire series of classes and workshops for
anyone who is interested in exploring the world of dance. City
Dance also encourages its members to become involved in the community,
and we hold many free performances, demonstrations, and masters
classes at places like the Texas Children's Hospital and Johnston
Middle School. On the weekends, we even donate our space to at-risk
minority youths, who also happen to be some of the best hip-hop
and b-boy dancers in Houston.
City Dance has achieved "Artist in Residence" status
at Rice University, and we reach a local audience of approximately
20,000 people annually. We've performed at the 2003 Family Series
at the Alley Theatre, the 2002-2003 Society of Performing Arts
Educational Outreach programs at the Wortham Theater, and at Urban
Mix 11, at the Miller Outdoor Theatre in 2003 and 2004.
In short, to become involved with City Dance is to contribute
to one of the truly progressive voices Houston's dance scene today,
where we strive to combine art and activity, personal excellence
and community outreach. We would greatly appreciate your support,
and we thank you in advance for your generosity, and please feel
free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sherese Campbell
