as a sponsor of the student
Dear family or friend,
I am a student of Ms.Drema from the Vancouver/Burnaby Branch of the B.C. Registered Music Teachers' Association. During the month of April, we are participating in a Practice-a-Thon to raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross to help with the humanitarian crisis currently happening in Ukraine. This is our group's fundraising page: https://www.redcross.ca/UkraineCrisis/BCRMTABurnabyVancouver
I am asking if you would consider sponsoring me in the Practice-a-Thon. You may pledge any amount you wish.
I will keep track of my practice time and let you know after April 30th how much time I spent practising and how much your final pledge will be.
For example, if you pledge $0.05/minute and I practised 30mins a day for 26 days, then your donation will be $39. If you would rather give a flat donation instead of based on how much I practice, that is welcome too.
Please let me know if you decide to sponsor me and I will write down your name, contact and pledge amount on my pledge form so I can keep track of who I need to contact after April 30th.
If you would like to print out a Sponsor Form to remind yourself, you can download the form below and fill in the information you submitted to me.
Thank you for joining us in helping out in ways we are able to!
Sincerely,
Student from Drema's Music Studio
