Re: how to write a good proposal and sponsorship letter for a event

We turn it around a bit and make it sound like they need US. For example:

For our COLD CALLS......not if we are trying to build a relationship with a sponsor.

Dear Potential Sponsor,

Today I am writing to you about an investment opportunity that is currently available with the Huntington County 4H FIRST Robotics Team. Most organizations that come to you with requests like this simply ask for a donation. With the 4H Robotics team, it's more than a donation, because it really is an investment in the future of both the 4H FIRST Robotics team, and your organization. As a sponsor, you will have the unique opportunity to closely align your products, services and your organization with the young minds of future Engineers, Managers, Scientists, Health and Safety Professionals, and more. Through an investment in the 4H Robotics team you really get a chance to make a first impression with the hard working, dedicated and creative young individuals that will soon become the future workforce of Indiana and specifically here in Huntington.

and so on ....
