Dear Gryphon Athletics Supporter: Gryphon Athletics are seeking Corporate Partners, Alumni and Friends to help support our Student-Athlete Scholarship fund-raising initiatives. The Department of Athletics at the University of Guelph will be hosting our Annual Presidents Golf Tournament on Monday June 27, 2016 at Cutten Fields in Guelph, to specifically increase our scholarship fund so Gryphon Athletics can continue to attract the best student-athletes in the country. The Guelph Gryphons invite you to join us and other Gryphon Athletic supporters for a day of fun and fellowship as we raise money for our Student-athlete scholarships. Our goal for the 2016 Presidents Golf Tournament is to raise $90,000, with proceeds raised going directly to our student-athletes. Our objective with Gryphon Athletics is not only to attract the best and brightest student-athletes in the country but to provide the “Ultimate Student Experience”. Gryphon Athletics provides a range of corporate opportunities for our Annual Presidents Golf Tournament. Included with this letter is a list of sponsorship levels, costs and recognition opportunities, ranging from exclusivities to supporters and contributors. I look forward to the chance to meet with you about our President’s Golf Tournament and various options to partner with the University of Guelph, Department of Athletics and to help build our scholarship fund for our student-athletes.
Sincerely, Jennifer Green External Relations and Event Officer Department of Athletics, University of Guelph 519-824-4120 ext. 56027
