Dear Sponsor:
DND Development is an IRS 501(c)3 recognized, non-profit
organization based out of Columbia, South Carolina. Our purpose is
to provide an opportunity for serious basketball players to excel in
an environment of competition with the best players throughout the
country. We are committed to developing athletes into role models by
inspiring them to become leaders in their communities. We prepare
young women to become scholar athletes through skill development,
hard practice, top-level exposure, tutoring and mentoring. We place
an emphasis on teaching basketball fundamentals and promoting
teamwork, while displaying excellent sportsmanship along with a
great attitude. As part of the overall growing process, these young
ladies will gain new experiences through travel, commitment and
teamwork.
DND Development is
asking for your support. The 2008 season begins in March 2008.
Because we are a traveling club, there area a number of expenses
associated with funding these teams. Our coaches and staff are all
volunteers, and your sponsorship dollars will help to defray the
cost of uniforms, tournament fees, travel and transportation. We
would appreciate sponsorship toward any team expense below.

As a sponsor, you will be investing in the future of these young
ladies.
There are numerous sponsorship levels available for businesses or
individuals that would like to sponsor a player or make a general
donation. Although any amount will be gladly accepted, the milestone
levels include: Platinum ($1,000+), Gold ($500+), Silver ($250+),
Bronze ($100+), and Honorable Mention (minimum $25 donation). Name
recognition (if desired) of all donations will be made on our
website, and all donations of $100 or more will include contact
information and your company logo. And because we are a registered
non-profit organization, you will receive the benefit of including
your donation as a charitable contribution for tax deduction
purposes. Proper documentation will be provided by DND Development.
