Thank you for your interest in sponsoring our 4th Annual LARA Sprint Triathlon. The event will be held Saturday,
August 15, 2009 for athletes 14 years of age and older. The event raises funds for our local parks and recreation department
as well as promotes physical activity in the community. LARA programs can be found at http://www.golara.org/. All contributions are tax deductible as LARA is a 501(c)(1), Section 115 public agency. Last year's event attracted
more than 260 athletes from all over the country. Our committee anticipates up to 350 athletes competing in this year's
event, which includes a 300 yard swim, a 14.7 mile bike ride and a 3.1 mile run, starting at the Lewisburg Community Pool.
The triathlon will be advertised statewide via newspapers, posters, billboards, radio announcements, the LARA Leisure Guide
and worldwide on event-specific internet Web sites. Our race is also part of the River Towns Race Series. Enclosed you will find a list of sponsorship packages available to your company and demographic information
on our past racers. Not only will your contribution be a great way to give back to the community, it is an outstanding advertisement
opportunity. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I will follow up with you in mid-March. Should you need any
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at tara@golara.org. Sincerely, Tara Michaels Race Director PLATINUM sponsor | EVENT SPONSOR
