Dear supporter,

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be associated with the 41st Annual Great Southwest Track & Field Classic for 2016! John Haaland, Mike Danoff and rest of the Board have done a wonderful job for the last 16 years presenting this event as one of the top 3 National High School track events in the country. In 2015, over 800 athletes from 20 states and Jamaica’s best sprint teams came to Albuquerque and set dozens of records that thrilled fans. The Great Southwest Classic also gives young New Mexico athletes an opportunity to test their mettle against the best in the country.

We will include your name as a proud sponsor in all publications while thanking you for your financial support. Please take a few minutes to review the enclosed materials and consider becoming a sponsor. Feel free to contact me, personally, at your convenience. On behalf of the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic I thank you for your time and consideration and look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,Art GardenswartzSponsorship ChairmanGreat Southwest Track and Field Classic
