St. Anthony High School C o l l e g e P r e p a r a t o r y 620 Olive Avenue Long Beach, CA 90802-1546 562.435.4496 Fax 562.437.3055 www.longbeachsaints.org November, 2015 Dear Friend of St. Anthony High School, As a member of the greater Long Beach Community, St. Anthony College Preparatory High School invites you to become an Official Sponsor of the 7 th Annual SAINTS RUN 5K, Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 8:00 a.m., beginning at Shoreline Aquatic Park along the beautiful downtown Long Beach waterfront. After six successful years of continued growth, SA continues to renew a large and growing list of supporters who have joined this exciting Long Beach community event. The SAINTS RUN committee is now actively working to secure new sponsors and we ask you to consider joining us as a sponsor for this year s SAINTS RUN 2016. Last year s RUN drew more than 1,000 participants, all gathering to enjoy a great day at the beach, race festivities, prizes and awards at the winner s circle ceremony - all for a great cause supporting students as they develop leadership skills and expand their service to the community. All proceeds from the SAINTS RUN go to sustain St. Anthony High School s financial aid program providing over $1 million in tuition assistance annually to underserved, low income families who would not otherwise be able to afford a quality, Catholic, college preparatory education. Your sponsorship also provides an opportunity to promote your business and your support of The Saints to our local community and a growing alumni population who live primarily in Southern California and the greater Long Beach area. Gather your employees (teams are encouraged to form), run as a family, or in honor of a loved one, family member or student, all while heightening community visibility for you, your business, organization or family, as we reach out to more than 1,000 event participants and the greater Long Beach community. This year St. Anthony High School is celebrating 95 years of serving Long Beach area families who value a personalized, relatively small, high school experience within a values-based, college preparatory setting. St. Anthony s students come from diverse cultural, religious and economic backgrounds and participate in a rigorous program of academic excellence and community involvement. St. Anthony s is proud that 100% of its graduates for the last six years have gone on to college or the military, locally and nationally. The school continues to enjoy increased enrollment each year, and this growth makes your support most important, as St. Anthony s strives to provide excellence in education and opportunity for students from all economic backgrounds and neighborhoods. Developing each student as an ethical leader, while preparing him or her for college and success in life is St. Anthony s mission - Educating Minds and Nurturing Hearts since 1920. We welcome you and your involvement as a sponsor for this once-a-year 5K event for all, which draws the entire Long Beach community together. A representative will follow this communication with a personal call, or you can contact SAINTS RUN 2016 Sponsor Chair: Juan and Rhina Ovalle by email to: pep@longbeachsaints.org with any questions. Thank you in advance for considering this request and for your support of this, the annual SAINTS RUN. GO SAINTS!
