Subject: MyMathcounts Sponsorship of a Math Competition for Girls in the DC Area
To: <ourmathcounts@gmail.com>
Dear MyMathCounts,
My name is Joy Shi, a satisfied student of yours, from the nonprofit Math Girls MD Inc based in Rockville, Maryland, and we are requesting your company to sponsor our math competition event for girls in the DC Metro Area, InteGIRLS. InteGIRLS is a math competition with challenging problems geared towards a talented group of young girls interested in joining the workforce as mathematicians, scientists, or executives! We plan to give cash prizes, along with other goodies, to our top scoring participants, but we will need funding in order to do so.
We believe that due to your commitment to education, MyMathCounts is a perfect sponsor for our event.
We are anticipating 150 participants consisting of middle and high school girls. Monetary donations like these can be in the form of prizes or scholarships. Additionally, volunteers, prize items, panelists are greatly appreciated!! Keep in touch so we can discuss what can be offered between us!
Your sponsorship would go to the hundreds of middle/high school girls in our area who are discouraged by the disparity between boys and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). In a world where technology and science are rapidly developing, the influence of STEM fields is continuously rising. Having this wide discrepancy between boys and girls is detrimental to everyone, from research scientists to corporations’ technology departments to every other STEM related career, all of which would benefit from having a wider perspective.
Your contribution will help fund the future generations and create a world where there is no longer any stigma against girls in math and other STEM fields. It will lead to companies throughout the world that will benefit from having the different perspectives of a more diverse team. The girls that participate in our competition will be able to go on to do great things in part thanks to your contribution.
For more info or questions, please call me at ----- or email me back from this email, mathgirlsmaryland@gmail.com. Our website is integirls.org for even more information.
We really hope you consider our request!
We can coordinate in-person visits or meetings if MyMathcounts would like to learn more information about our cause and our goals.
Best Regards,
Joy Shi
