2010 FRF Local Business Fundraising Drive is now under way...

Dear Local Business Owner,

My name is Marc Carlton, and I am the President of the Fox Ridge Foundation. On behalf of the Fox Ridge Foundation Fundraising Committee, I would like to invite you to sponsor the Fox Ridge Foundation during our 2010 Local Business Sponsorship Drive. With the funds generated from this drive, we will be able to once again provide a part-time summer student interpreter for Fox Ridge State Park, as well as support other programs and services not financed by the State of Illinois.

As in years past, the Foundation Fundraising Committee is offering sponsors an opportunity to receive more recognition for their donation. For as little as $50, local businesses can have their name prominently displayed at all Fox Ridge Foundation events and on the new Fox Ridge Foundation website (www.foxridgefoundation.org). Since Fox Ridge Foundation is an IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization, your contributions may also be tax-deductable.

The contribution levels for the 2010 Local Business Sponsorship drive are as follows:
· $50 – Name Only on website and at all events
· $125 – Name & Logo on website and at all events
· $250 – Large Name & Logo, Preferred Placement on website and at all events

We have many exciting events scheduled for this next year, including the weekly events coordinated by our interpreter throughout the summer months, our 23nd Annual Ridge Runner Classic and our 2nd Annual Ham & Bean Supper in October, and our 4th Annual Pancake Breakfast in February. We also have many plans for our website, as we look to promote the Fox Ridge State Park, the Fox Ridge Foundation, and those individuals and businesses who support us.

Please make checks payable to Fox Ridge Foundation and send to the following address:

Fox Ridge Foundation
P.O. Box 714
Charleston, IL 61920-0714

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Marc Carlton, President
