This letter will provide you with information concerning our organization and the event we would like you to consider for donations and sponsorship.
The Bowhunting Records of Utah is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Utah. We are headquartered in American Fork, Utah. The mission of our organization is as follows:
1. Establish and maintain a record of big game trophies taken in Utah with archery equipment.
2. Periodically publish an official bowhunting records book for Utah.
3. Periodically hold a Bowhunting Awards Banquet to recognize the outstanding trophies taken by bowhunters in Utah.
4. Above all, preserve and promote the ethical and selective bowhunting of Utah?s big game species for current and future generations.
We have scheduled a Utah Bowhunting Awards Banquet for April 1, 2006. It will be held in the Grande Ballroom on the campus of Utah Valley State College in Orem, Utah. We have invited the bowhunters of the top five trophy entries in each of the big game categories to attend and bring their trophies for display. There will be nearly 70 trophies recognized including 8 new archery state records. We are anticipating about 300 people to attend the banquet.
We will also be holding seminars during the afternoon which will include a presentation by our guest speaker, Tom Hoffman, who was the second person to complete an archery super slam and the first person to complete a world slam of sheep with archery equipment.
We are having a silent auction and raffle during the seminars and banquet to raise money for the following causes:
1. To make a donation from the bowhunters of Utah to the Pope & Young Club/St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting. The mission of this museum is ?to increase the awareness and appreciation of North American bowhunting heritage and history?.
2. To provide funds to publish the 3rd edition of Bowhunting Records of Utah.
3. To support the National Bowhunter Education Program here in Utah.
We would appreciate your consideration for sponsorship of our banquet activities. We are in need of items for the silent auction, raffle, and for door prizes. All sponsors will be recognized during the banquet and also listed on the program. In addition, we invite any sponsor to display a banner in the banquet hall during the banquet activities.
We realize there are many worthwhile causes that you can contribute to and that you are approached frequently for your assistance. We believe strongly in what we are trying to accomplish and if you can offer any assistance, we would be extremely grateful. If you are unable to help, we understand and thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
David Nielsen
