This is my first every rough draft of a sponsorship letter. I also have a club website (
http://stw.ryerson.ca/~rocketry/) but I'm not really sure if I should place it in the letter somewhere. Any suggestions to this letter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance since this is an anonymous post.

Dear (Name)
I am writing to see if you and (Company Name) would be interested in sponsoring the members of the Ryerson Rocketry Club. The club will participate in upcoming local rocketry competitions, such as the annual ICARUS competition at University of Toronto and various NAPAS (North American Propulsion and Aerospace Society) competitions. In the near future, RRC wishes to host our own competition at Ryerson – being the first of its kind for the university.
Aside from building kits and replicas of rockets, RRC also utilizes its facility to conduct research in various areas of model rocketry. This unique aspect allows the members to actively utilize the knowledge learned in the classroom into real life applications, and thus, fortifying their understanding of vital flight aspects.
Currently, the club is looking into designing and testing a high efficiency hybrid rocket motor. This idea was examined after a conventional polymer core shape was questioned. To find out more about the influence of the core shape, RRC decided that this would be an ideal Club project with soon to be published results.
Your generous sponsorship would be highlighted by:
·Company name/logo placed on the Ryerson Rocketry Club website and promotional materials.
·Free booth space or table to showcase products or services during competitions or special events.
You and any other representatives of (Name of Company) would be most welcome to come by the University to review our progress and also thank you personally for your support.
The estimated audience of (Number of people) would benefit tremendously from your generosity. The cost to sponsor the rocketry club would be (Cost). I would be most appreciative of a telephone call to let me know of your interest.
You may reach me at (Phone Number). I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering this request.
Sincerely,
