Dear Carolyne:
I trust this letter finds you well.
This summer I have decided to participate in a fundraiser called Birdies for Kids. I am raising money for two charities that I firmly believe in as they do great things for kids in north Texas. Here is a little information on both the charities:
The Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation is committed to its mission of introducing the game of golf to children of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Through the not-for-profit Foundation’s Golf in Schools program, each year thousands of elementary, middle and high school kids are introduced to the game of golf through the school’s physical education curriculum. Each school that participates is provided golf clubs, teaching aids, training and golf professional expertise all at no charge.
Children’s Medical Center Dallas is private, not-for-profit pediatric hospital. The hospital is dedicated exclusively to the comprehensive care of children from birth to age 18. The proceeds that will be donated to Children’s have been designated to purchase Giraffe Omnibeds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Each bed costs $50,000.00 and are designed specifically for the care of critically ill neonates. The beds can regulate body temperature and can also be ‘broken down’ when necessary to perform medical procedures. Keeping infants in one place helps avoid respiratory arrest, which is prevalent in this fragile neonatal population.
My goal is to raise $1,500.00 for the two charities this summer. I am seeking donations from my friends, family and companies to help me reach my goal.
For your consideration, I included a return envelope to send back to me at your convenience with your donation. Or if you prefer, I have also set up a website should you like to go on-line to make a donation. If so, please visit www.active.com/donate/birdiesforkids08/markharrison to make an on-line donation. Please note: All pledges need to be made or returned to me on or before Sunday, August 10.
Your donation is 100% tax deductible. The Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation will send you an invoice for your donation in September.
If you have any questions about the fundraiser, please call me at (214) 420-7421 as I would love to chat with you about the fundraiser. Thank you in advance for your consideration in supporting me this year.
Sincerely,
Mark Harrison
