Dear Mayor Brnesch:
This letter is written on behalf of Rosemead High School requesting the city's assistance in helping
sponsor the Eleventh Annual Run/Walk Against Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco. The event
will be held Saturday. October 17 1998 on the track and campus of Rosemead High School.
This date kicks off"Red Ribbon" Week activities.
Students targeted reside in the city of Rosemead ranging in age from kindergarten to twelfth grade. A
T-shirt will be given to each participant and prizes to the schools having the greatest number of
participants in three categories as well as individual ribbons in each race.
Rosemead High School anticipates a crowd in excess of 1,000 for this event. A nominal entrance fee of
$3.00 will be charged each participant. (This will insure a commitment and allow us to determine the
number of runners we must accommodate.) Yearly, the City of Rosemead has graciously helped cover
the cost of the T-shirts and awards, a figure of approximately $3,000.00.
It would be greatly appreciated if the City of Rosemead, once again, could help offset the cost of the
T-shirts and awards by donating approximately $3,000.00. Your consideration of this matter will be
appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
