We appreciate you!
Dear Friends and Supporters of Young People:
Greetings on behalf of the Uplift Foundation of Nevada. My name is Bernard Brooks and I am chairman of the foundation’s annual scholarship golf tournament fundraiser. The Uplift Foundation of Nevada is 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2003 to “Empower young people to realize their full potential, regardless of circumstances.” Its core areas of civic engagement are scholarship, mentoring, financial literacy, civic outreach and wellness. The foundation has positively impacted the lives of more than 4,000 youth and adults in Clark County.
The annual golf tournament is one of the primary ways we raise money for scholarships and other philanthropic endeavors. We’ve partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Las Vegas since 2004 on awarding scholarships to African-American youth. During that time, we’ve awarded more than $138,000 in college scholarships to nearly 70 students. Our recipients are attending or have graduated from various colleges across the country including Stanford, New York University, Arizona State, Oregon State, Howard, UNLV, UNR and many more.
Research shows that financial concerns prohibit many academically talented and deserving young people from pursuing higher education; many others attend college but have to drop out due to financial issues, never obtaining their degree. Scholarships have helped scores of collegians graduate from college. For many, that degree changed their lives and the trajectory of families’ lives.
This is where you come in. Your sponsorship enables us to help more students and provide more robust scholarship awards. We have sponsorship opportunities ranging from $150 to $3,000 and opportunities to sponsor exciting events including Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Hole in One Contest as well as a Raffle, Auction, and many great prizes. In addition to sponsorship, you can also provide gifts and prizes for the raffle or donate online via our website http://www.upliftfoundation-nv.org/.
For many recipients, the funds have been the difference between going to college and staying home.
Your financial support can help us make this happen. Included with this letter is a sponsorship package with more information on the benefits received for your tax-deductible support. We hope you will help support our efforts. This tournament will be a great time for an outstanding cause. I can be reached at 702-444-1999 or brooksrb7@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration towards making our event successful.
Respectfully,
Bernard Brooks
