Dear Area Business:

I’m writing on behalf of the Walled Lake Twirl-M’s Baton Twirling Group. I am one of 26 twirlers in Walled Lake/Wixom/Commerce/South Lyon areas who will be attending the 2012 National Baton Twirling Association (NBTA) America’s Youth On Parade (AYOP) in South Bend, Indiana, July 16-20

At this competition, we will be competing in the 2012 World Show Corps Championship, which we won in 2010. This year, we will perform a Corps Routine called “Love”, along with 3 dance twirls, which are new this year. These routines feature twirling, poms, and “story telling” through the art of baton twirling. We are hoping to add to the 5 national titles already won by the Twirl-M’s in the past 12 years. This fall, we hope to take this show “on the road” to our community, to sports audiences, and to others in order to showcase our skill.

This trip to AYOP is the group’s 10th consecutive year. We are seeking our 6th national team as well as many individual titles, including Miss Majorette of America.

The Twirl-M’s are currently seeking sponsors to help offset our expenses for our attendance at this national event. Each of us has to purchase uniforms and practice outfits, as well as cover our own lodging, meals, and registration expenses. Additionally, we train throughout June and July with top national coaches. Your sponsorship will help us bring in the very best instructors.

For any donation that you may wish to provide, the Twirl-M’s will: . $500 + TOPS IN TWIRLING DONATION o Name and logo on the back of the Twirl-M’s Camp T-shirt, which is given to each camper attending the July Twirl-M’s Summer Camp .
