I am looking for sample letters anyone has used in their Christmas Cards to ask for donations.

 

Thank you.

Holiday fundraising letter

Here is an email that the Relays in our region are using.  Could easily be converted to a letter.  Hope this helps!

 

Dear Friends:  
As we come to the end of another amazing year, it is that time when we are all thinking of holiday gifts and what to get for that person who has everything.  For those people, here are few ideas for a gift:  
  • Instead of buying someone a new scarf, a gift to Relay For Life will allow a woman to learn how to use a scarf to regain her sense of beauty through the American Cancer Society Look Good…Feel Better program. 
  • Thinking about that tent for the camper in your life…instead, your donation could help send a child battling cancer to camp for a week at the American Cancer Society’s Camp Sunrise.
  • Rather than buying that new fancy cell phone, your donation will allow the American Cancer Society to maintain its 1-800-ACS-2345 call center and www.cancer.org, 24-hour resources, which are available 365 days per year…even during the holidays!
  • Instead of giving that gift certificate for a hotel stay, making a donation to Relay For Life allows the American Cancer Society to provide free lodging for cancer patients receiving treatment far from home through their Hope Lodge.
So before you head off to the malls to wait in line to buy those hard to shop for folks in your life…consider making a year-end gift in their name to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.  It’s a gift that will keep giving long after the wrapping paper and fruit cake are gone!   
Happy Holidays!   
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2008!
