Walking Miles for Smiles; In memory of Randy Long!

This race is a fundraiser for Head and Neck Cancer. We will donate all the proceeds to the SPOHNC Foundation. My dad was a member of this foundation throughout his cancer battle. Unfortunately, Head and Neck cancer took my dad from us too early. I think this race will be a great way to honor him, and help future people fight this terrible disease! 

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of [Randy Long, and other 
individuals affected by Head and Neck Cancer] to seek your support for our  [Walking Miles for 
Smiles 5K fundraiser], which will be held on April 13, 2025 at Washington Park in Avon, Indiana. 

I’m creating this 5K in memory of my dad, Randy Long, who passed away from Head and Neck 
Cancer on August 3, 2022. My goal is to donate all the proceeds from this race to the SPOHNC 
Indiana chapter, which my dad belonged to as well. This group is a support group for those 
affected by Head and Neck, and was very important to my dad while he battled that awful 
disease!  This year, we are organizing [Walking Miles for Smiles 5K] with the goal of donating all 
the proceeds from this race to the SPOHNC Indiana chapter, which my dad belonged to as well. 
This group is a support group for those affected by Head and Neck, and was very important to 
my dad while he battled that awful disease! Our aim is to create awareness, and more 
opportunities for people that have been affected by Head and Neck Cancer. 

We are reaching out to you to invite you to become a sponsor for this event/project. Your 
sponsorship will not only help us achieve our goals but also offer you a unique opportunity to get 
your company’s name out there with advertisement on tshirts, race website, and signs 
throughout the course, get you more involvement with the community,  and an opportunity for 
your company to partake in a charitable donation for a good cause to help people battling 
cancer.  

We believe that a partnership with you will be mutually beneficial, and we would be delighted to 
discuss how we can work together to make [Walking Miles for Smiles 5K] a success. I would be 
happy to provide additional information or answer any questions you might have. 

Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with 
you and appreciate your support in advance. 
Warm regards,
