WILS inspired me to have the self confidence necessary to discover myself. It encouraged me to help others gain their own confidence and introduced me to a family I would have never otherwise known.

Dear Parents of WILS Alumni:

Congratulations on having your child be selected to attend the Wisconsin Leadership Seminar as the sole representative from their high school. We know how proud you are of all of their accomplishments! It is our hope they had an outstanding experience at our seminar and that it had a lasting positive impact. We are pleased that your son or daughter is now an alumnus of our program and hope that he or she will remain an active volunteer for WILS or another organization.

Thank you for your interest in supporting another outstanding young leader’s attendance at WILS. As you know, we provide our seminar to students at no cost to their family and school. This ensures that our nominees are chosen for their leadership potential, not because they can afford to pay for our program. Each year, WILS faces the challenge of raising the funds to provide our seminar at no cost to its attendees. The entire WILS organization is staffed by volunteers and relies solely on private financial support so your support is vital to the recognition and opportunities that these young leaders deserve.

Our letter asks that you consider sponsoring all or part of the seminar experience for a 2018 nominee. Your donation will help ensure that we can continue to provide our program at no cost to our nominees and their schools. We have created several suggested levels of sponsorship although donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

$10 – Sponsor a young leader’s seminar T-Shirt 
$25 – Sponsor a young leader’s housing for the seminar 

$50 –  Sponsor a young leader’s meals for the seminar
$75 – Sponsor a young leader’s room & board for the seminar 
***$100 – Sponsor a portion of the transportation & supply costs for volunteer service activities***
$200 – Provide a full sponsorship to cover all of the seminar costs for a young leader 

 

***With a minimum donation of $100, you will receive a handwritten thank you letter from your sponsored young leader that they will write to you during their seminar experience. 

We are now able to accept online donations through PayPal. To donate, please click the link below – you do not need a PayPal account to donate; you can use a credit card. WILS is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and your donation is fully tax deductible.

 

Thank you again for providing WILS with the opportunity to have your child attend our seminar. We hope that you will consider supporting the 2018 seminar and its next crop of young leaders.


P.S. Interested in volunteering for WILS? We have opportunities at our seminar as well as on our planning and fundraising committees! If you are interested please contact us at [email protected].
