Dr. Berry and Dr. James,

My name is Dr. Aerik Williams and I'm the owner of Shoot 360 Charlotte.  My letter below is a proposal to send to school leaders in the ISS system.  Candidly, I've already sent this letter to some of your school leaders.  I was unaware that I needed your permission.  Please let me know if I have the go ahead to continue asking your school leaders to share with ISS students.  As described below, 
"Consistent with our mission, Shoot 360 has set aside funds ($5000) to donate to schools.  If your school is need of a donation, please let me know! We will disseminate funds equally."

 Leaders,

My name is Dr. Aerik Williams and I'm a practicing allergist in Charlotte and Salisbury.  First and foremost, I absolutely love seeing ISS kiddos in my clinic and I greatly appreciate what y'all do to enrich their lives, particularly on a limited budget.

My mission in medicine is to provide care for ALL patients regardless of insurance/ability to pay.  To that end, I also own a basketball training facility called Shoot 360 in north Charlotte.  It's not your traditional basketball gym.  The technology is amazing and kids feel as if they are in a video game while performing drills and shooting baskets. We attract players of all caliber from youth to NBA. Check out our Instagram at Shoot360CLT.

As it stands, a membership is $130/month which is not feasible for much of the community.  Therefore we are offering $10 basketball clinics for ISS kids on Saturday mornings.  The clinics are 1.5 hours and we guarantee growth and fun.  

If the basketball clinic is of interest to you, please disseminate the attached flyer to your kiddos (K-8th grade). 

Consistent with our mission, Shoot 360 has set aside funds ($5000) to donate to schools.  If your school is need of a donation, please let me know! We will disseminate funds equally.

Thank you!
