To Whom It May Concern,

 Otho E. Stuart Middle School is currently planning for our annual fundraising event, The Raptor Mudder! The Raptor Mudder is Stuart’s one and only whole school fundraiser. The Raptor Mudder is a daylong event where Stuart students and their families come together to celebrate a successful school year. Throughout the day, participants take part in a variety of activities such as a Pep Assembly, Fun Run/Obstacle Course, Interactive Outdoor Games and a whole school picnic.  This event is one of the BEST days of the year!

We are excited to launch our Raptor Mudder fundraiser to raise essential funds for school improvements. Our goal is to enhance our learning environment by upgrading technology, adding new recess equipment, and making facility improvements that support student engagement. These enhancements will help create a positive school culture where students can thrive academically and socially. Your support will make a meaningful difference in providing students with the best possible educational experience.

Stuart Middle School would like to present you with a great advertising opportunity. Because not all students are able to provide the donation amount needed to participate in the Raptor Mudder, you/your business have the opportunity to sponsor students at a variety of levels. 

• Platinum Level Sponsorship allows you sponsor 16 students - $1000 (8x4 banner)
• Gold Level Sponsorship allows you to support 8 students - $500 (4x4 banner)
• Silver Level Sponsorship allows you to support 4 students - $250 (4x4 banner)

As a thank you for your sponsorship of our Stuart Raptor Students, we will provide your company with a company banner that will be displayed in our gymnasium for an entire year. Not only is our gymnasium used by our school community, many other organizations and clubs rent out our gymnasium throughout the year. Your company will also be featured on our school website, school weekly newsletter, and on our Facebook page. You will be reaching thousands of potential customers right in our neighborhood. 

Attached is the Banner Sponsorship Form, simply fill out this form and return it to Stuart Middle School along with your donation on or before May 15th, 2026. The Raptor Mudder Committee will reach out to you to obtain your company logo/advertisement that will be displayed on the banner. We will take care of printing and displaying the banner. 

Any and all assistance your company can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

The Raptor Mudder Committee
