Climb for a Cause Sponsorship Follow Up Templates

  • Hello [Recipient],

    I wanted to follow up regarding my message about the opportunity to partner around Climb for a Cause. I know how busy it is this time of year, and messages can sometimes get lost in the shuffle.

    As I shared previously, on April 26, 2025, Project Place will be hosting their second annual Climb for a Cause at Fenway Park. Last year, we welcomed over 1,170 people and 116 teams to Climb for a Cause. Together we will climb the bleachers, and each step we take will raise awareness and support for Project Place’s mission to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in our community.

    I hope you will consider sponsoring this unique event and worthwhile cause. As a sponsor of Climb for a Cause, not only will you make a positive impact in the community, you’ll have the opportunity to promote your business while demonstrating a commitment to social impact.

    Please let me know if I can answer any questions—I look forward to hearing from you!
