Dear Sponsor:

Mark Moseley, former Redskin and NFL MVP—with the support of the GE Volunteers, GXS, the Hogettes, and the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders Alumni Association—is pleased to host the 17^th Annual Mark Moseley Celebrity Golf Tournament on Monday, June 7, 2010 at Raspberry Falls Golf and Hunt Club, in Leesburg, Virginia.  The event benefits two National Institutes of Health charities:  Special Love and Friends of the Clinical Center.  With the ongoing economic difficulties facing our region and the nation, it is more important than ever to continue this fundraising activity.

The charities this tournament supports are both filling critical needs. Friends of the Clinical Center provides emergency financial assistance to families of patients of NIH’s National Clinical Center, paying for financial burdens triggered by their illnesses and their participation in medical research at the NIH. Special Love is an organization for children with cancer and their families that provides support through year-round activities, including week-long summer camps. The cost to send one ill child to camp for a week is $650.00. Friends of the Clinical Center spends an average of $700.00 per family needing emergency financial assistance in order to continue their treatments. 

The support from sponsors and participants like you is needed to allow these charities to continue their good work. The 2009 tournament allowed us to provide these charities with over $80,000 in financial support. The day includes golf on a premier golf course, continental breakfast, mingling with sports figures, including former Washington Redskin players and cheerleaders, TV, radio personalities and politicos, a raffle, tournament contests, mulligans, lunch, on-course refreshments, a reception, dinner, golfing awards, and silent and live auctions.

There are many opportunities to participate in the tournament as a sponsor, including being a tournament co-sponsor, or sponsoring a foursome, one of the three meals, gift bags, the open bar, beverage carts, or by donating an item for the silent or live auction or a prize for one of the golfing contests. In addition to giving support to deserving charities, this event offers sponsors the opportunity to host clients or provide recognition to deserving employees. Attached you will find information regarding various sponsorships, our 2009 sponsors, a schedule of events and the two charities.

Your support is greatly appreciated and will be fully acknowledged.  Please note that your contributions are to the R & W Foundation and are tax deductible (subject to applicable tax regulations).  For information on this tournament and how you can get involved, please contact Joe Pellegrino, Tournament Chairman at 202-637-4336. 

 

On behalf of Special Love and Friends of the Clinical Center, thank you.
