Dear Community Partner,
On September 11, 2021, the University of Illinois, along with several community leaders, will be hosting the 9.11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of 9.11 and is recognized as a Day of Service and Remembrance. We are creating an opportunity for anyone in the community to climb 110 flights of stairs (or any lesser amount they choose) to honor those who attempted to rescue victims in the Twin Towers. We will have shirts, food and raffle prizes for those who attend. Our goal is to have 200 participants, including our first responders in the Central Illinois area.
Sponsorship dollars will cover the cost of the first responders’ T-shirts and food. The registration fee of will be used to offset costs with proceeds being donated, to Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel has 14 floors and our hope is to have each floor sponsored. For $100, you will “own” a floor as well as a place on the back of the T–shirt. Your floor can be decorated as you like or we can decorate it for you. Sponsoring more than one floor would be greatly appreciated. Any donations over $100 will give you Hero Level Sponsorship and you will have both a floor and a table in the banquet hall. Floor assignments will be given on a first come first served basis.
We have confirmation from the Springfield Fire Department they will have men and women joining as well positive response from the community. Registration will begin the first week in August.
We hope that you will consider collaborating with us for this great event. Please respond by August 16 with the information listed below to my email.
Thank you for considering partnering for this important event and please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,

Hello. My name is Don Smith. I'm reaching out to
American Legion posts to spread the word about a book I've written,
about an American success story in the Cold War. It's an episode in our
history that American veterans should be proud
of. For that reason, I thought that American Legion members would be
interested in it.
I've enclosed information about the book. We're taking preorders now;
we also have a GoFundMe campaign, to raise money to buy copies of the
book and send them to libraries in the U.S.
I am available to do ZOOM presentations on the book and the stories in
it. I'm also available to do interviews on local radio. If you have any
suggestions on groups or organizations that might be interested in this
book, I'd be grateful if you e-mailed me
their points-of-contact.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail, and/or any of the attachments, to anyone that might be interested.
Thank you for considering my request.
Warmest regards,
Donald Smith
