Dear [Name],
My name is [Youth Representative Name], and I am reaching out on behalf of the Pillar Falls Ward Youth in Twin Falls, Idaho. This summer, our youth group is hosting a community car wash fundraiser called Washed Wheels, Deliver Meals — and we would be honored to have your business as a sponsor.
The event will take place on July 25, 2026, and our goal is to raise $65,000 for the Twin Falls Senior Center — an organization that provides daily meals, social programs, wellness support, and transportation for hundreds of seniors in our community.
Example: A Gold Sponsor pledging $10 per car contributes $2,500 if we reach our 250-car goal. If we wash 200 cars, the contribution is $2,000. The math is transparent, and the impact is real.
| Tier | Pledge / Car | Max Contribution | Recognition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Title Sponsor | $50 | $12,500 | Logo on all materials + banner + social campaign |
| Platinum | $20 | $5,000 | Banner + website + social mention |
| Gold | $10 | $2,500 | Banner + website listing |
| Silver | $5 | $1,250 | Website listing + thank-you |
| Community Friend | $1–$2 | $250–$500 | Website listing |
After the event, we will send each sponsor a final report showing total cars washed, total raised, and a thank-you message from the seniors served. Twin Falls Senior Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — all contributions are fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. A formal tax acknowledgment letter will be mailed with your final invoice following the event. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your individual situation.
A note on retirement account giving: If you are age 59½ or older, you may withdraw from your 401(k) or traditional IRA without the 10% early withdrawal penalty and use those funds to fulfill your pledge. If you are age 70½ or older with a traditional IRA, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to transfer funds directly from your IRA to a qualifying charity — excluded from your taxable income and counting toward your Required Minimum Distribution — up to $105,000 per year. Both are IRS-recognized strategies for charitable giving from retirement accounts. Please consult your financial advisor to determine the best approach for your situation.
To commit a pledge, please complete the attached pledge card and return it to us by July 18, 2026 — or contact us directly at the information below. Our youth will follow up personally to confirm your commitment.
Thank you for your time and for your investment in the seniors of our community. We are grateful for every pledge, at every level.
Sincerely,
[Youth Representative Name]
