To whomever it may concern,
My name is Cassie Lindsay. Three years ago I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease known as Alopecia Areata.
“Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. It usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).
Alopecia areata affects approximately two percent of the population overall, including more than 4.7 million people in the United States alone. This common skin disease is highly unpredictable and cyclical. Hair can grow back in or fall out again at any time, and the disease course is different for each person.”

Even though this disease is not life threatening, it definitely takes a toll on ones self-esteem and can affect you for the rest of your life.
On August 20, 2011, I will be putting on a benefit dance concert at the UVU Ragan Theater to promote awareness and raise money for research. I am writing this letter for the purpose of asking if you would like to be a sponsor. Your company logo will be on the posters promoting the concert that will be hung around town as well as in our programs that everyone will receive upon entering the theater. Any donation would be welcome and greatly appreciated. Don’t forget it’s a tax write-off, plus you’ll have the benefit of getting your company promoted!
All of the proceeds raised at the concert will go directly to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Feel free to check out their website if you have any questions.
If you would be interested in donating, please feel free to use any of the options below to contact me.
Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Cassie Lindsay
