Ask Friends & Family to Support your Walk 

Remember all those times that your kids or grandkids asked you to sponsor them for a walk, skip, silence, dance, etc. Now it's your turn to ask your family and friends to do the same for you. 

Ways to Raise Funds:

1. Send out an email to friends and family letting them know that you will be walking
2. Make a collection sheet or download one by clicking here.
3. Find an envelope that you can use to keep your cash and checks in
4. Attach the sheet to the envelope or keep it inside the envelope so that it doesn’t get lost

Consider adding a heartwarming anecdote or telling a story about the positive impact that Hospice East Bay has had in yours or a loved one’s life.


Easy ways to ask your friends to sponsor you:
Over the phone or in person - simply jot down your sponsors name and the amount they would like to give on the collection sheet. Ask them to mail or give you cash or a check. You can also direct them to our website, www.HospiceEastBay.org/sneakersandpaws, if they would like to pay by credit card.

Sample email or letter to ask for sponsorships:
Dear -

On April 17th I will be participating in the Friends of Hospice Rossmoor, Sneakers and Paws event.  I personally support Hospice East Bay because it is a wonderful not for profit hospice that does incredible work with patients and their families.  Your support will help fund our Rossmoor Respite programs, which include respite services, Music Therapy, and other services provided directly to our fellow Rossmoor residents.   

My fellow walkers and I will be walking around the Creekside golf course, chatting with friends, taking pictures with (pets name) and enjoying refreshments.  

I am writing to you to ask if you would sponsor me and (pets name) for participating in the event.  Any amount would be very much appreciated and know that it will be used to support our community members who need hospice services.   

I thank you in advance for your support and if you want to join me, or just come down to the Creekside Grill to enjoy the morning with us, please do so. 

Love from
