Presidents Letter
Dear Potential Sponsor, Founded in 2002, Investors of Tomorrow operates as one of Canadas largest student-run charitable organizations. Our mission is to provide both resources and opportunities to students with career aspirations in finance, and to students who simply seek to gain a greater understanding of this exciting industry. Our annual InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition attracts top undergraduate students from premier Canadian business schools for a weekend of exciting and rigorous competition. Student teams are challenged to prepare two comprehensive stock pitch presentations, with the hopes of stimulating the interest of our industry professional judges and being awarded with the championship prize. With a new team of eager student executives, we are confident that the 2012 InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition will be the most successful yet. Our goal is to attract the largest number of student competitors, attain a group of judges who specialize in the investment industry, and to secure financial donors and corporate sponsors, resulting in a valuable opportunity for both Investors of Tomorrow and your organization. In order to create the most rewarding experience for our student competitors, we seek capital to fund the competition, as well as a year-long sponsorship title. This sponsorship title will not only be for the competition but also our charity as a whole. As a sponsor, your company will attract student interest, maintain exclusive recruitment opportunities of top students intending to begin their careers in the industry, and make a valuable and lasting connection to a growing student-run charity that impacts youth across Canada. We sincerely hope that your organization can provide support by joining us as a corporate sponsor in the coming year. Attached is further information on our charity, the Stock Pitch Competition, and insight into our sponsorship opportunities. Regards,
Brandon Armstrong

Introduction
Although fundamental education is necessary for learning any skill, the ability to master a skill comes from the application of that education to an individuals real-world experience. As a studentrun charity, Investors of Tomorrow is aware of this division between theory and application, and strives to close the gap between the two modes of learning for students who wish to master their financial skills. Inspired by this educational gap, Investors of Tomorrow was founded in 2002. We operate with a vision to expand the horizons of youth everywhere to opportunities in the capital markets and to emphasize the fundamental importance of saving and investing. Acquiring the skills early in life to make informed investment decisions are the cornerstones to future financial freedom and subsequent success. Investors of Tomorrow has provided the opportunity for students to learn from industry professionals about the often misconceived world of finance and the capital markets. Our workshops, seminars, forums, and the unique InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition foster the development of financial literacy and give youth the hands-on experience necessary for todays competitive world. We strongly believe that this education is the foundation of Canadas future economic prosperity. Whether we help create a future business leader, a successful investor, or another financially literate Canadian, we believe we have contributed to the fabric of our society and the future of our generation.

Our Mission
Our mission is centered on two fundamental principles: to promote financial literacy, and connect students with industry professionals and top-tiered financial institutions. This mission has been filled through the operation of workshops, forums, and the uniquely developed InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition, which is designed as a hands-on experience in securities analysis and market awareness. Through Investors of Tomorrow, students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills as they interact with corporate representatives and further enhance their financial intellect.
Our Vision
In accordance with our mission, Investors of Tomorrow will strive toward a vision of innovative expansion, in particular, with our flagship event, The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition. As an organization dedicated to continuously challenging students to reach their greatest potential, the Stock Pitch Competition will focus on testing relevant skills and abilities valued in the finance industry. Ultimately, Investors of Tomorrow will connect high caliber students with renowned financial corporations, and will serve as the bridge between academic accomplishment and corporate success.
Our Plan
Using The InvestYoung Stock Pitch Competition, Investors of Tomorrow will allow participants to learn how to analyze companies, develop a keen eye for opportunity, create an effective pitch, and much more. Competitors will also have the opportunity to hear and learn from experienced industry executives and professionals through their attendance at the competition.
