Dear Mayor Suarez:
The Diabetes Research Institute is involved in several fundraising
events throughout the year which raise crucial funds for the
construction of a world research facility. This state-of-the-art
center will house 19 teams of scientists conducting the most
current research to find a permanent cure for diabetes --the third
leading cause of death by disease in the country.
The Diabetes Research Institute is currently working on the 4th
Annual Catch A Cure Fishing Tournament and fishing for sponsors
interested in promoting their product or service through a highly
visible community event. This is the fourth year that we have held
this event and the second year it has been held at Bayside
Marketplace. As you may know, the tournament, with its several
hundred participants, was brought from Miami Beach to the City of
Miami. Last year the City of Miami was a sponsor of this event for
which it waived the dockage fees at the Miamarina. We would like
to have the City of Miami as a sponsor again this year and would
like to request again that the dockage fees be waived in
conjunction with its sponsorship. I have enclosed a proposal for
your review and consideration as a possible sponsor.
We are planning to hold this year's tournament at the Miamarina -
Bayside Marketplace on Saturday, August 25, 1990. This location
offers tremendous exposure to our sponsors and participants, from
local residents and visiting tourists alike, creating a built-in
audience. The tournament is targeted to the whole family,
including a junior division for participants 14-years-old and
under. There is an estimated $10,000 expense to this event which
includes cash prizes awarded to ..ite participants. In large, the
tournament is dependent on the community for support to fund the
important research program at the University of Miami. Any
contribution that the City can offer to offset this expense would
be greatly appreciated. Perhaps the City could provide such a
contribution from its discretionary funds for these types of
community events.

Each year, this event grows in participation and number of dollars
raised to support the Institute's research and treatment programs.
For the last three years, we have been very fortunate to receive
tremendous community support and it is this true commitment that
has developed this tournament into one of our largest fundraisers.
We appreciate your past support and hope that the City of Miami
will continue to support the University of Miami's endeavors to
find a permanent cure for diabetes.
We would like the opportunity to work with you as a sponsor, and
would be delighted to talk with you in person about this fabulous
event.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at 448-
7677. We look forward to working with you and the City of Miami
and will be contacting you soon.
Sincerely,
r
Tod German
Tournament Chairman
