Dear Brother/Sister,
We agree that sports have a powerful ability for us to reach out with missionary efforts and bring families together. As such we would like you to consider the donation to upgrade our volleyball facilities for our yearly ranked and nationally relevant volleyball teams. Further, our women's soccer team is frequently at full capacity and we think they would appreciate an enhanced stadium for their games to increase their national relevance.
Our track team could also use a dedicated facility, every year we have competitors for national championships and recently won the cross country championship. They deserve new facilities dedicated to their craft and the exhibition of their events.
We agree with your point that sports can play a powerful role in uplifting the soul, building bridges with people not of our faith, and bringing families and friends together. We would love to sustain your efforts in these goals as described above.
Unfortunately, we have not sold out our stadium for some time and we do not feel it is because of the venue or facility as much as it is the product on the field.
Sincerely,
Jim
