Dear Odessa Area Business:
The Odessa High School Performing Arts Department is proud to present the 5th annual Odessa’s Got Talent competition on Saturday, September 27 at 7:00 pm at the OHS Auditorium. Local talents of all kinds and all ages compete for plaques and cash prizes in two age categories. An audience award is also presented. Proceeds benefit the OHS Performing Arts, which supports plays; musicals; speech, debate, and theatre competitions; acting and technical workshops; and field trips for Odessa R-VII students.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to both support the OHS Performing Arts Department and promote your local business simultaneously!
Not only are there approximately 20-30 contestants who audition, but the OHS Cheerleaders and the OHS Chamber Choir perform as well. On average, about 250 tickets are sold each year. An emcee hosts the show and announces our sponsors and we distribute a program to our audience as well. There are approximately 60 t-shirts made for contestants, student and adult volunteers, and the cheerleaders—shirts change color each year and I am always delighted to see past years’ colors dotting our hallways throughout the year! This year’s shirts will be a sapphire blue color with white and gray writing; sponsors on the back will be in white.
There are several tiers of donation:
$500– Sole sponsorship of the t-shirts (large ad on the back), full page ad in the program, customized ad announced during the show, 10 tickets included Due: ASAP—first come, first serve basis
$100-medium ad on back of t-shirt (we will limit this to 5 to maximize space), half-page ad in the program, customized ad announced during the show, 2 tickets included Due: September 15, 2014

*Please let me know if you would rather (or in addition to this donation would like to) advertise in the play program this year. This year’s production is Rumors by Neil Simon and is Nov. 20-22. Programs are professionally printed in color for the play.
We appreciate all that local businesses do for us! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Sincerely,
