Spring Sponsor Drive 2015 sponsor drive starts now! Goal: $15,000 in sponsorship donations. Why? – Sponsorships offer the best return for our energy – Avoids having to sell candy bars, beef jerky, fruit, etc. – Local sponsors actually LIKE helping LT kids!

Spring Sponsor Drive How it works… – Each family goal is $400+ in sponsorships – We’ve built a list of 237 local businesses. Please select businesses you have a relationship with (owners are the best). – Show them our sponsor packet and ask them to participate. Involving the kids in the process is best. Donations are tax deductible
