Request for support for the Live Free fundraising concert

Dear Sir/Madam:

Greetings from Life Haven.

Life Haven is a non-profit organization of persons with disabilities (PWD), duly registered with the SEC, guided by the Independent Living (IL) Philosophy and a frontrunner of the Independent Living Movement in the Philippines. We are working towards the empowerment of persons with disabilities with the goals of restoring self-respect, improving self-confidence, and promoting active participation on issues concerning the society to which we belong. It is our belief that persons with different types of disabilities will benefit from the Independent Living Movement, hence our cross-disability approach.

As part of our mission to provide continuous services to PWD, a fundraising concert entitled “Live Free” will be held on May 30, 2009. Proceeds of this event will be used to support our activities, sustain the services that we provide, and assist the Association of People with Disabilities-Sta. Rosa (APD-SR) in their IL-related programs. The concert will have as its main performer, the Beautiful Gate Performance Art Troupe from Malaysia. Two local PWD groups as well as two featured mainstream bands supportive of our cause are also slated to perform in the said concert. We are expecting an audience of at least 1,000. We have also enlisted support from broadcast, print, and online (YEHEY.com) media for ad string and promotions.

We would like to ask for your assistance by sponsoring the “Live Free” concert charity event. We believe that you becoming a sponsor will show your compassion and will make you an instrument of social change that will let persons with disabilities to have a life and enjoy that community life to the fullest. In return we will provide optimum merchandising and exposure for you or any product or company you want to endorse. Please email us at lifehaven@gmail.com for details of the sponsorship packages.

We recognize the fact that what we can give you is miniscule compared to what your support can contribute to the success of the “Live Free” concert.

We are looking forward to your favorable response. Thank you very much.
