Dear Community Partner,
The Lexington High School UIL Academic program has experienced rousing success in the last five years. Our program has featured numerous state qualifiers over this time in Speech, One Act Play and Journalism. We also have finished as the top academic team at the district meet multiple times, and as the top team at the regional meet for the last two years. Our program includes around fifty students of varying backgrounds competing for our school at these competitions.
Recently, our school has begun participating in practice invitational meets. Students travel across Texas starting in September to take their tests or give their speeches in a competitive environment and receive feedback. These events are usually on a Saturday, meaning dedicated students and teachers alike give up part of their weekend to improve at their event. Additionally, we compete in virtual challenge meets during the week and have robust participation across all academic events.
This level of dedication requires more than the school budget can offer. That is why we are turning to you. Many of these students will return home after college to put their education and skills learned through participation in this activity to work in your company, or with your family. Many students have qualified for the TILF Scholarship, rewarding excellence in UIL Academics, and use this money to pay for college. Therefore we appeal to you to make a contribution to your own future by supporting these students today. Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated. We have created several rewards for donations surpassing certain thresholds that will be delivered if we surpass our fundraising goal of $3,000.
• Valued Donor ($50+): Personalized thank you letter and post on Facebook
• Green Donor ($100+): Your name or business’ name displayed on the back of our UIL shirt
• Gold Donor ($200+): Your name or business’ name displayed on a banner hanging by the high school tennis courts, plus green donor reward
• Platinum Donor ($300+): Yard sign identifying your family or business as a donor, and your name prominently displayed in Theater programs, plus all lower tier rewards
Please make sure that you return the form on the back, so that we can give you and/or your company recognition for its support. Please keep the bottom portion as your receipt for the donation. We appreciate your time, diligence and support of the future of this community and the future generation of American professionals.
