AMBASSADOR

To whom it may concern,

I am honored to be an Ambassador to the 1st Annual Black Tattoo, Art & MusicExpo on July 17, 2016 at the Eastern Market. The Expo’ s focus on non-violenceand the overall promotion of the arts within the city of Detroit are both in linewith var ious initiatives that I have placed emphasis on dur ing my current tenure in elected of ce.

Your sponsorship of this very impor tant event would be most appr eciated. Theartist and perf ormers of the Expo will have a greater oppor tunity to promote positivity and non-violence using tattoos, art, and music as an alternative. Though2016 marks the inaugur al year for the event, the long-term goal is become the

pr emier Black Tattoo, Art, and Music Expo in the r egion.

When school budget cuts occur , ar ts and music programs are usually the rstvictims of elimination. This leaves thousands of naturally talented children whonever identify and develop their gift. Many of the Expo’ s par ticipants have shared with me their per sonal stories about how school arts programs provided them withan outlet fr om their daily struggles and essentially saved their lives. In addition to raising the awareness of the need for more school arts programs, Expo organizersplan to use the high-ener gy event to showcase the diverse talent of prof essional as well as up-and-coming local artists in Detroit.

With your generous support, individuals with gang-related tattoos seeking a freshstar t in life will be able to begin their journey with fr ee gang tattoo cover-ups.

Thank you in advance f or your assistance in making this gr ound breaking event asuccess with your sponsorship. Included is an Expo sponsorship fact sheet as well as a detailed sponsorship proposal for you to review. If you have any questions,please f eel free to contact me at 313-224-1027 or [email protected].
