Dear
(NAME OF
BUSINESS),
(NAME OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL/ORGANIZATION)
is pleased to announce its participation in Oregon’s
College Application Week. In an effort to further expand college access initiatives College Application
Week will be held at sites throughout the state November 4-8 and 11-15, 2013. The goal of College
Application Week is to provide every graduating high school senior the opportunity to apply to college
with a particular focus on helping first-generation low-income students, and students who may not
otherwise apply to college.
College Application Week can open the door for students by encouraging them to take a significant
step toward college in their senior year. What began in 2005 as a single day at one high school in
North Carolina has evolved into more than 35 statewide campaigns to help students. This year,
Oregon is expanding last year’s successful pilot in7 sites to include more than 30 schools and
community based organizations.
We know that
(NAME OF BUSINESS)
supports our local community and students, and we encourage you
to remind participating students and their families of this support. We therefore respectfully request a
donation of
(SUGGESTED DONATION)
or any other item(s) you believe will help support Oregon’s
students’ successful journeys into higher education. Items will be provided as an incentive for
participating students. Your donation will help ensure that the growing number of students participating
in this initiative will head off to college with all the tools they need to be successful.
If you are able to assist us in this effort, please contact me no later than (DEADLINE).
Thank you!
