Sample 1 – Donation Ask

Dear Friend,                                                                            

I am participating in this year’s Run and Walk for the Arts, Athletes, and Health Event to help support the Wings Track Club and a number of agencies that are providing direct services to the community and our youth. I have joined hundreds of walkers and runners from across the region in this effort to raise money to further the mission of these great non-profits and foundations (Edison Arts Foundation, Fort Bend Expose Excellence Youth Program, Health Housing Foundation, Missouri City Parks Foundation, National Forum for Black Public Administrators and Women in Jazz).

By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping the Wings Track Club support organizations that are changing the future of kids, helping residents gain affordable housing, delivering needed services to those in need, expanding training and development in the arts, providing community-based programs, and funding leadership development for public servants.

Whether it’s youth sports or the arts, there are millions of youth attempting to find positive outlets, so that they do not become a statistic.  The numbers are startling and your donation will help to change this.

I know my participation in this year's Run and Walk for the Arts, Athletes, and Health Event can and will make a difference. Please help me reach my goal of $ amount by supporting me with a donation.

You can follow the link below to my personal webpage to make a secure, 100% tax-deductible, online donation.

Together we can Make a difference!

Sample 2 – Donation Ask Follow-up

I wrote to you recently to ask for your support and I just wanted to send this friendly reminder in case the first one slipped through the cracks.

I am participating in the Wing Track Club’s Run and Walk for the Arts, Athletes, and Health Event because I want to do something to make a difference in my community. I set up my own webpage on the Run and Walk site where you can quickly and easily make a secure, 100% deductible, online donation.

Why help me? This year, I am helping the Wing Track Club support six community agencies that are helping the Wings Track Club support organizations that are changing the future of kids, helping residents gain affordable housing, delivering needed services to those in need, expanding training and development in the arts, providing community-based programs, and funding leadership development for public servants.

Please take a few moments to donate to this very important cause. Your support would be greatly appreciated!

Together we can Make a Difference!

Sample 3 – Help Me Reach My Goal

Hi!

I am participating in the Wing Track Club’s Run and Walk for the Arts, Athletes, and Health Event and I am committed to doing all I can to support several agencies that are positively impacting the community. Right now I am very close to reaching my fundraising goal and I hope you can help!

I am dedicated to participating the 5k Run and Walk and raising money in this inspirational event because I personally know a number of friends or their family members who have benefited from the services provided by some of this year’s agencies. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be supporting key missions of several of these organizations in making our community better and improving the quality of life of all people in our community.

Will you help me change the future of our community? You can make a secure, 100% deductible, online donation by using the links below.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
