Subject: Partner with Friendship Circle for the Houston Friendship 5K

Hi ____________,

I hope you are doing well! My name is __________, and I am a _________ at _______ School. Our organization creates meaningful relationships and support for children and teens with special needs by pairing them each week with a teen or young adult “buddy” mentor. I personally mentor a buddy—Ollie—every Sunday, and through that experience, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful friendship, inclusion, and community support can be.

On Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, 2026, we are proud to host our annual Houston Friendship 5K (“Friendship Runs in the Family”) to raise funds and awareness for our programs. This fun run brings together families, volunteers, corporate partners, and the broader Houston community to celebrate inclusion, friendship, and the contributions of all participants.

We would love for [Company Name] to join us as a Corporate Sponsor of this event. Your support will help us:

• Provide ongoing weekly one-on-one mentoring and structured activities for children and teens with special needs

• Expand our programs so more families in the Greater Houston area can participate

• Purchase adaptive equipment, supplies, and resources that enrich our social, recreational, and educational offerings

In return, we are pleased to offer recognition and promotional value for our sponsors, including logo placement on event materials, social media acknowledgment, reserved company seats/parking, inclusion in our race expo, and more. (See the attached sponsorship packet for full details.) Perhaps we could even feature an art car or two at the event — that would be incredible!

Would you consider partnering with us? I would love to set up a brief call or visit to discuss how we can tailor a sponsorship package that aligns with your law firm’s values, marketing objectives, and community engagement goals. I will follow up next week, and in the meantime, you can review our packet and feel free to contact me at __________.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and teens with special needs — and to connect your team to a positive, family-friendly event. We hope you’ll join us as a champion of friendship and inclusion. These amazing kids deserve all the support they can get!

Warmly,
