To Whom It May Concern: The Enterprise Centers Leaders About Business youth program is in gear, and we are announcing

the kickoff of our annual Summer TEC-LAB Camp! Its the top youth entrepreneurship camp in Philadelphia each and every summer! The Enterprise Center (TEC) has served more than 6,000 youth since the inception of its youth program in 1997 and continues its leadership in providing a safety net for the at-risk youth populations of Philadelphia! This years camp, Recipe for Success, will also encourage youth to focus on a healthy lifestyle through exposure to two of our affiliate initiatives; Philadelphia Urban Food and Fitness Alliance(PUFFA), a youth driven advocacy group, which addresses community food access and the quality of meals in local public schools, and our Walnut Hill Community Farm, a community-based urban agriculture initiative in which disadvantaged youth who are currently under-served by fresh produce access, collectively farm and sell affordable produce to the community. Each Summer TEC-LAB Camp challenges youth to explore the world outside of their familiar culture by guiding them as they navigate and learn about other business cultures. We provide youth with relevant skills in networking, sales and marketing and work to improve the outcomes of youth by encouraging leadership and business achievement. By offering youth a safe haven during the summer, our camp provides the city of Philadelphia with a community where children are nurtured and taught to become productive members of the society at large. Our youth are at an age when idleness could become a formula for trouble. Instead, Summer TEC-LAB Camp offers a Recipe for Success. As a sponsor, your organization is sure to receive exposure from all media campaigns and event promotions, as well as from the youth and volunteers participating in the camp. We have several packages for sponsorship and these are detailed in the sponsorship commitment form enclosed with this letter. You can choose how you would want to participate in the event. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you about our 2012 Summer TEC-LAB Camp and other partnership opportunities. This years camp takes place Monday, June 25th to Friday, June 29th, 2012. We hope you will join our efforts to fulfill the dreams of young entrepreneurial leaders and promote community-wide education. This year we will host 300 students during our five-day summer encampments, which include meals and snacks. Summer TEC-LAB Camp is not complete without special prizes provided by our gracious sponsors which are used to reward students for their hard work. We invite you to collaborate with The Enterprise Center in sustaining this invaluable experience for our youth.
