Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2014 1:36:26 PM Subject: DICK'S Sporting Goods Grant Hello Renton MC Members, I have very exciting news we (Renton Rowing Center) have been selected to participate in a new and exciting initiative
called Sports Matter. The Sports Matter initiative aims to raise awareness of
the youth sports crisis for teams facing financial limitations. DICK’s Sporting
Goods will provide up to $2 million in matching via a new crowdfunding platform
to teams across the country.
About the
event:
The online giving campaign runs from
April 17th – May 23rd. This allows us five weeks to raise
half of our targeted amount of $15,000. The catch is we only get funding if we
hit half our goal of $7,500. All donations must be made through the online
giving website given below. The Renton Rowing Center is 1 of 75 teams selected
to participate in this program and 1 of only 2 teams in Washington State!
What we need
from you:
Spread the word about our efforts to improve
access to youth rowing
As a member of the Management Committee I am hoping that you will help to act as an ambassador to our fundraising efforts. Your number one
responsibility is simply to tell people about the impact of rowing and what it
can mean for those in our community, especially youth. We will make sure you
are informed on the latest program developments and plans for future
growth.
Encourage others to take action!
We want our entire community to understand the
value of widespread access to youth rowing.
