Aron Hall, from TBAF's message:
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The Case Foundation and Parade Magazine have presented an incredible opportunity to non-profit organizations to not only reach out to friends and family and get them involved in what we are passionate about, but also to maximize the effect of our monetary donations. America's Giving Challenge will conclude on January 31 at 3pm EST. Only 3 Days Left!!! The four US-based charities that receive the most donations ($10 minimum) will receive a $50,000 grant from the Case Foundation. The winners will also be featured in Parade Magazine which has a weekly readership of 72 million people!
The good news is that we have had over 1000 donations and the almost $14,000 that we will receive through the generous support will fund at least one camp that will open its doors to all children and give them the opportunity to experience all that life has to offer. The bad news is that after a week of being in fourth place and thus in the running for the winning grant, we have been passed and are sitting in fifth—71 donations behind as I write this. We must be in the top 4 to receive the additional $50,000!
Why is it important that not only you but also your friends and family participate? You can make a difference in the life of a child like Adam who had been kicked out of every program he had ever attended until he came to a Let's ALL Play program where the extra staff gave him the attention he had been craving. He has now had 4 successful summers in our programs as well as seeing marked improvement in his school performance. You could open a door for a Lee who came to his first summer with almost no verbal or social skills. You can now find him playing kickball and talking at lunch with all his new friends.
So how can you help?
1. Make sure you've donated. There is no need to delay. Again, the deadline is this Thursday, January 31 at 3pm EST. Click on this link Network for good or copy and paste it into your browser to visit our badge and make a donation. Again, $10 is all you have to give.
2. Get the word out! Email, blog, and put the badge on your webpage! There is information on the badge about how to share it.
3. Phone-a-Friend—We believe that the charity that has surged to fourth may be doing a phone-a-thon or phone-a-friend type of campaign. So many emails (especially charity forwards) get deleted, that a friendly voice may make a huge difference!
"The Giving Challenge provides each of us the opportunity to magnify our impact on the lives of children. Thanks for all that you do!" TBAF Co-Founder Clay Aiken
Please join us in taking a tremendous opportunity to open doors for ALL children to participate fully in their communities!
Sincerely,
