Breast Cancer 3-Day - Consider a Donation

Dear Friends and Family,

I have taken on an incredible challenge. This August, I’ll be walking 60 miles over the course of three days, camping out at night with thousands of other women and men taking this journey with me.

It’s for an event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. They are working hard to build a future without breast cancer, and I plan on raising $2,500 to help bring us closer to that goal.

Please consider making a donation of $100. If you can’t give this amount all at once, you can spread it out over four months, using the payment plan option, if you donate online at http://www.the3day.org/. Or choose an amount that fits your situation. Also, please ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift.

Everyone knows someone who has been touched by breast cancer – a mother, a sister, a friend. My grandmother battled breast cancer years ago and beat it. Women are still fighting – but through the donations from friends like you, together we can end this.

Without a cure, one in eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s why I’m walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.

If you don’t want to donate online, please fill out the attached donation form and mail it to the address on the form. Or you can call 800.996.3DAY to donate over the phone. And remember to ask your employer if they participate in a matching gift program. Visit http://www.the3day.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Matching_Gifts for more information.

I would like to reach my fundraising goal by July 4, so don’t delay!

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth
