To whom it may concern:
Mike Wilkes has been selected to represent Ocoee,FL,on the Roberto
Clemente All-Stars,national teams that will travel to Puerto Rico to
compete against some of the best youth baseball teams on the island.
The All-Stars were inspired by the great Hall of Famer, Roberto
Clemente,whose career and life was dedicated to helping kids and
increasing understanding and friendship between the mainland United
States and Latin American countries.
By traveling overseas with us,we believe Mike will not only become
a better baseball player,but also a more aware and well-rounded citizen of
Ocoee.
It is our understanding that Mike will need help from various
businesses,friends, and those in the community in order to accomplish his
goal of traveling with the Roberto Clemente All-Stars. It is our hope that
you might consider helping him by becoming a sponsor. By doing so,you
will not only help a young athlete fulfill his dreams,but also gain
meaningful benefits.
If you have any questions about our program, please do not hesitate
to give us a call. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
Jordan Kern
Program Director
