Sponsoring your event
Hi Folks,
Love the idea and think it's fantastic. I would love to talk to you about helping to sponsor such an event or potentially future events.
I would help out in giving away either gift certificates or even Dog Costumes or maybe perhaps some Dog Clothes for that matter.
Would love to hear back and feel free to contact me at my email address.
Hope I hear from you in time.
