FUNDRAISING
OPPORTUNITY and Encouraging Physical Activity
PTA
Council of Howard County does not endorse any one fundraiser over
another and this is for information only.
Patrick
Letts is the Special Projects Manager for Crystal Palace Baltimore. We are Baltimore's professional outdoor soccer team. We have a fundraising program for schools that we feel would be a great fit for PTA's looking to raise funds. It is called our Palace Postive Message, about 3-4 players or coaches go to schools and speak about staying in school, staying away from drugs and asking students to get outside for some physical activity. We ask the PTA to pick one of our games to promote to the school after the speech and for every ticket purchased $4 will be given back to the PTA. Tickets are $16 and our games are played at UMBC and parking is free! If you think this is a good program and would be of interest of PTA's could you share this information with PTA's in Howard County and have them contact me to schedule a speaking date and time. Thank you for your time.
Yours in Soccer,
Pat Letts
