Dear Coach,

I hope this e-mail finds you doing well. As you might remember, I am Pat Bearducci and I am manager of group sales at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I know that you are having a D1 Football Tournament at the ForeverLawn Sports Complex July 2nd through July 5th. As we did last year, we would like to encourage your teams to visit the Hall of Fame while in town since it seems that they will have some down time.

We are asking if you might be willing to put the following information on your website for the tournament so that the coaches and organizers might know who to contact if they wish to visit. I have heard from a couple but I think those are the ones who have been here previously.

“It is recommended that while you are in Canton, OH for the D1 Football tournament that you visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For all the information you need about purchasing discounted tickets before your visit, contact Pat Bearducci at 330-588-3644 or pat.bearducci@profootballhof.com. She will be in the office from 9-4, Monday through Friday and will be able to assist you. These tickets will need to be purchased before your visit so please contact her by June 29th.”
Thanks so much for considering doing this for us. Let me know if you have any questions.

Have a Great Day!
Pat
