For The Hood Tour
Dear Sponsor,
Greetings from, From The Hood For The Hood. We have fantastic plans and look forward to our 3rd Annual: For The Hood Tour. It is with great pleasure that we offer your organization the opportunity to become a valuable sponsor for this initiative. 2022 For The Hood Tour will take place in marginalized, under-resourced, and underrepresented communities across the Country. Currently, we plan on making stops in: Detroit, MI, Dearborn, MI, Canton, OH, Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL, Atlanta, GA, and Miami, FL & hopefully with your help we can expand our reach to other cities.
Back in the summer of 2020, we quickly realized that there are many communities across our Nation lacking the essential resources needed to grow and thrive, and in addition to the global pandemic, we felt the need to address this issue. We loaded up SUVS with PPE, Groceries, Menstrual Care Kits, Books, Toys, Baby-Care Products, Gas Cards, and more and distributed these resources to various communities across our Nation, and now this has become an annual initiative for our organization. In addition to providing these resources to the community, we also feed and clothe the homeless within each city within our tour, bail individuals out of jail for nonviolent offenses, assist community members with bills, and more. We are proud to say that our first sponsor for this imitative was Eminem and the Marshall Mathers Foundation. You could elevate your brand and customer base through exposure to over 1,000 plus individuals. Your business and brand can connect with a vast target audience in the following areas: arts and entertainment, youth and family, and business to business while simultaneously supporting worthy causes.
In addition to the intrinsic rewards outlined above, your financial contribution would also be tax-deductible by donating to a 501 ©3 organization (EIN: 83-0893242). If this is something you’d like to consider, we’d love to continue this conversation. Your sponsorship is necessary for our
success and would be a huge boost for our For The Hood Tour Initiative. Please review our packages outlined on page 2 and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
