Sharptown Fire Department / Patriot Hunts Sportsman Bash

Dear Local Businesses and Community Partners,

The Del-Mar-Va Chapter of Patriot Hunts and the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department would like to invite you to promote your business or organization during their Inaugural Sportsman’s Bash, which is scheduled to take place on April 26, 2025.

This year, Patriot Hunts is raising money to cover the cost of several annual hunting and fishing trips where veterans, Gold Star families, and First Responders are given the opportunity to partake in outdoor adventures. Money raised would be used to cover licenses, lodging, and food. The Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department is raising money for new turnout gear, equipment, and towards a new fire house. Without the support of local businesses and organizations, it is nearly impossible to fund these undertakings that support our communities and give back to those who have served or are currently serving. All donations would go towards the underwriting of prizes, food, drink and other costs of the event to in turn raise more money for each organization’s projects.

There are several options for sponsorship for the Sportsman’s Bash:
• $250 donations will receive 2 tickets to attend the event, 2 extra non-attending raffle tickets, and a chance on a gun valued up to $400.
• $500 donations will receive 4 tickets to attend the event, 2 extra non-attending raffle tickets, and a chance on a gun valued up to $800.
• $1000 donations will receive 6 tickets to attend the event, 2 extra non-attending raffle tickets, a reserved table at the event, and a chance on a gun valued up to $1200.

Checks for donations can be written to Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Bill Malchow (443-944-1536) or Howard Bowden (410-251-1272). The Del-Mar-Va Chapter of Patriot Hunts and the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department appreciate your consideration for support of our event and look forward to working with you to better serve our community and first Responders.

Respectfully,

Del-Mar-Va Chapter of Patriot Hunts
Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department
