Dear <Insert Donor Name>,

I’d like to introduce you to myself, <Insert your name>, and ask for your financial support for an amazing organization for young athletes in our area. I am a member of the Axis Elite Volleyball Academy.

Axis Elite Volleyball Academy (AEVA) is a training program for teaching volleyball skills to Upstate SC and Western NC area athletes. AEVA is a non-profit organization designed to help young athletes reach their highest potential on and off the volleyball court. AEVA works with athletes up to 18 years of age. AEVA wants their athletes to be the best they can be on the courts as well as great leaders in our community.Club volleyball gives athletes the exposure to college recruiters at a higher level than the high-school programs can. Most college coaches prefer to recruit during club season since their seasons run at the same time as high school programs. The club travel programs allow coaches to see first-hand AEVA athletes perform at a more advanced level of competition. Volleyball may be the best opportunity some of our athletes have of getting a higher education.There are many costs associated with travel volleyball programs for which many athletes and their families need assistance. These costs include operating expenses such as facility costs, equipment, coaching fees, uniforms and insurance. Our top programs travel to tournaments in-state and nationally in order to provide the best playing competitions and experiences. These tournaments provide the best exposure to collegiate coaches. In order to help defray some of these costs, AEVA has setup Individual Sponsorships for players like me who want the opportunity to work hard and play a sport that we love. You charitable, tax-deductible gift will help me participate in this program. Your generous gift (100%) will lower my costs of having this opportunity. I would appreciate your consideration of any gift in any amount. Please fill out the bottom portion of this letter and send to the address shown. It you prefer, I will gladly come by and pick it up. For all checks, please input “<insert name here>” in the Memo field in the bottom left corner.Please consider how you can help me reach my goals as a competitive volleyball player. For more information, see the website, www.axiselitevb.com, or contact Ed Adkins, AEVA Club Director.
