1 Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated Phi Phi Omega Chapter in partnership with Friends For Life Foundation Incorporated Presents Sponsorship Package

2 Dear Prospective Sponsor, Thank you for the work you do in our community. This letter is a request for your organization to sponsor a worthwhile cause that will benefit the Be The Match Foundation, scholarships and community activities in North Fulton County, Georgia. On Saturday, June 20, 2015, the Phi Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., in partnership with the Friends For Life Foundation Inc., will host Platinum & Pearls, a biennial fundraising event. The event will be held at the Marriott Alpharetta, 5750 Windward Parkway, Alpharetta, Georgia at 7:00 p.m. and will feature music, dancing, raffle and a silent auction. Platinum & Pearls allows Phi Phi Omega to raise funds for key philanthropies and scholarships, including contributions to the Mary Hall Freedom House, Every Woman Works, Partnership Against Domestic Violence, North Fulton Charities, the Foster Care Support Foundation and the United Negro College Fund. More than 500 guests have attended this event in previous years. This year, one of the main charities we are supporting is Be The Match Foundation. Be The Match Foundation (previously The Marrow Foundation) was created by Admiral E.R. Zumwalt Jr., in 1991 to secure support for the work of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases depend on Be The Match Foundation to raise funds to support the work of the NMDP. We use your financial contributions to: grow the Be The Match Registry, provide financial assistance to help patients throughout their transplant journey, and advance medical discovery to help patients live longer, healthier lives. Your contributions to this event will assist us in Helping Save Lives and may be made through the Friends For Life (FFL) Foundation, an IRS-recognized 501(c) 3. Sponsorship opportunities are available in amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000. We are grateful that Atlanta s corporate, business and community supporters have committed to make our world a better place and we hope that you take a moment to review this package and consider sponsoring Platinum & Pearls.
