WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY My name is Nick Poloniato and I am presently a member of the Canadian Bobsleigh Team. My ultimate goal is to compete at the next Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea in 2018. To compete at a world class level requires the discipline, determination, constant development of skills and top of the line equipment and tools. Bobsleigh teams in Canada are primarily self funded and rely heavily on sponsorships to be successful. Being a pilot is extremely costly. Your contribution would allow me to train and compete at the highest level as well as provide me the opportunity to purchase world class equipment. My passion in reaching my goal to participate in the Olympics is endless and I give no less than 100%. I am seeking a financial donation in the form of sponsorship, as I am eager to represent my country and sponsors on my quest for gold. I would be delighted to welcome you to my team and have your support on this journey. As a dedicated athlete, I am committed to building strong relationships with all of my supporters, sponsors, fans and community. I would welcome an opportunity to meet with you, share my story and accomplishments. I hope that after reviewing my sponsorship package you will consider my request. Sincerely, Nick Poloniato Pilot, Team Polo I give no less than 100%
