I wasn’t expecting we would go back to Puerto Galera this year. It was a short notice, a lot of thinking, and 4 days of deciding… BUT good thing we came. The last time I’ve been there was 2 years ago (thrice) and it came to a point that I don’t want to go back to PG for a while. Anyways, the whole week was so exhausting, stressful and had sleepless nights because I had to take my cousins (from US and Canada) out for almost everyday.

To Sharmskee & the Manila Ice Vixens ice hockey organization –
Dear Ladies,
Very briefly –Your “puckin’ passion” and sincerity is VERY winning indeed!
Our company, AWSM Endeavors, Ltd.* (”AWSM”), which specializes in international cultural exchange/entertainment/event-building, especially through the games of ice and ‘inline’ hockey, might be interested in becoming a “title” Ice Vixens Corporate Sponsor. AWSM would be willing to start with an initial sponsorship of $10,000 U.S. Dollars (USD = 490,614.62 PHP today!),PLUS a 30-set, FULL “Pro” kitting (”custom” team pants, gloves, helmets, sticks, bags, “Home” & “Away” game jerseys & socks, etc.) of the Manila Ice Vixens program based upon the Manila Ice Vixens commitment to travel-to and represent AWSM (and AWSM events) around the world. This would involve at least 2 - 3 international tournament/events per year (at least 1 European and maybe 1 Asian, North American or elsewhere). AWSM would help in fund-raising for traveling to these international events.
We would also be interested in organizing a women’s international “pursed” (MONEY!) tournament/event in the Philippines — one of the VERY FIRST of its kind in the international women’s game (as AWSM is already doing the FIRST-EVER elsewhere!). This tournament/event could be held in Manila (and probably in the Spring, late-April or early-May), wherever and whenever we both feel would be better for such an international event. If we are successful with both our association with the Manila Ice Vixens and in staging a women’s international tournament/event in the Phillipines, we would be willing to further ‘grow’ both our sponsorship,
the event “purse” and the Manila Ice Vixens programs through additional financial commitment, maybe even on an ongoing “annual” basis.Our telephone contact: I will forward on once we have your direct response via e-mail.
With both the $10,000 USD cash sponsorship and the 30-set equipment donation this “AWESOME” sponsorship package totals well over $35,000 USD (1,717, 151.16 PHP to start!). This is a very serious and sincere inquiry and we would hope that our e-mail, interest and offer will be replied to one way or another.
Looking forward to your reply…
Regards,
Michael A. Kramer
President, AWSM Endeavors, Ltd.
It didn’t end there… more email from Mr. Kramer
