Dear Parents,

It’s time to start thinking about King’s Academy’s biggest fundraiser of the school year—the Dinner Theater. This year we will be putting on a program called “Dinner with Rodgers and Hammerstein.” We are planning to have two back-to-back showings this year, and the dates are set for May 1 (Friday) and May 2 (Saturday).

There are two things that we need to start thinking about right away. First, we need to get companies, organizations, or individuals to sponsor the event. Second, we need to get products and services donated for the auction and the raffle that will be held during the shows. You can help us with both of these things by requesting donations of money, products, and services from the network of people you are involved with through family, work, or church.

There are two different kinds of sponsors that we are looking for this year. The first is an Event Sponsor. To be an Event Sponsor for the Dinner Theater, a company, organization, or individual must donate $500 (tax-deductible). In return, the sponsor will have its name on the tickets and on the front of the program and will also receive substantial recognition at the event. Since we are having two showings, we have the opportunity to have two Event Sponsors.

The second kind of sponsor that we are looking for is a Table Sponsor. To be a Table Sponsor for the Dinner Theater, a company, organization, or individual must donate $100 (tax-deductible). In return, the sponsor will get its name in the program and a full color 5×7 flyer inside of a table tent on one of the tables at each of the showings.

If you know of potential Event Sponsors or Table Sponsors, please give them one of our Sponsorship and Donation Flyers (see sidebar on right) as well as a King’s Academy brochure. Once the sponsor commits to giving, please (1) fill out the sponsor info on the bottom part of the flyer, (2) collect the money (checks payable to King’s Academy) and (3) collect the advertising info for that organization. Business cards or business brochures from the organization are the most helpful advertising info. If the organization prefers, it can create its own advertising to fit a 5×7 table tent. The money should be given to Patti Evans (503.657.7542 or EvansBP1@aol.com). The sponsor info and advertising information should be given to Barb Kennedy (503.307.0669 or barbkennedy@kw.com).

Besides sponsors who will donate money, we also need to find donors for the Auction and the Raffle. Raffle and auction items could be almost anything: gift certificates for a product or a service, concert tickets, gift baskets from a business, etc. All donations are tax deductible.

If you know of a potential donor for the Auction or Raffle, please give them one of our Sponsorship and Donation Flyers (see sidebar on right) as well as a King’s Academy brochure. Once the donor commits to giving, please (1) fill out the donor info on the bottom part of the flyer and (2) collect the donation. Received donations should be given to either Debbie Fukuda (503.631.4163 or S18025@aol.com) or Sharon Wilson (503.639.9115).

Thank you for taking the time to consider how you can help make the Dinner Theater fundraiser a success. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Patty Prentice at (503) 657.7763 or djprentice@juno.com.

Sincerely,

Patty Prentice
