In Summation

     Now that you have finished reading and digesting our program please sit down with your Booster Organization and urge them to take immediate steps to bring this positive program to your school and community. For our program to be as successful as it can be, it is imperative that we earn the support, respect and drive of your Boosters.

     There is not a more avid sports fan on earth than I and I still support my high school and college team, therefore, I absolutely understand the function of Booster Organizations, having served at the prep level and on the Board of Directors at Florida State. I know for sure that our program is one that every booster can be justly proud.

     I have put countless hours into developing this program and trust that you and your boosters will anxiously await the venture that lies ahead and that you are impressed, even as I have been, with the FABULOUS ENDORSEMENTS we've received. These words of wisdom and encouragement are vitally important and will greatly assist in gaining the support of our sponsors. Each endorser who has lent "RONNIE" their comment know all to well about the dangers of underage drinking and alcohol abuse by our youth, teenagers and young adults.

     "A Message from RONNIE", is a win, win, win situation for all concerned because it gives help and inspiration to every person that is associated with its implementation and success. Each of our endorsers are precisely aware of how important this program is and what a valuable tool we have in our hands to combat the dreadful dilemma that is so prevalent on the campus of most high schools and colleges.

     This fundraiser is very different than others that you may have undertaken because we ARE NOT ASKING FOR DONATIONS. We ask sponsors to purchase copies of RONNIE (at the same price they would pay at giant book stores) for their own personal use, and by so doing, Booster Organizations receive the profits rather than these funds going to wealthy stockholders of giant book stores.

     Unlike other fundraisers, where a planned date and exact time dictates the beginning and end of an event, ours does not labor under such restraints or mandatory criteria. Often, events are scheduled and much work done only to have the event ruined by bad weather or some other reason beyond the booster?s control. Our event can be held any number of days as long as it is completed within the 90 time frame.

     I can assure every booster that my personal success when talking with potential sponsors is better than 95 percent. Properly presented, there is little chance that a potential sponsor will refuse to be involved. Remember, they have kids and/or grandkids that are exposed to the same problems that we are committed to do something about.
