Dear [Name],
On Sunday, June 28th, I will be running in the Missoula Marathon. I've been training hard, but I have another goal in mind.
This year, I am participating in Run 4 Kids and have committed to raising $[amount]. I am writing today on behalf of Youth Homes. Since 1971, they have helped over 20,000 children experience a safe and secure place to call home.
This year, every dollar this team raises goes directly to the Birnbaum Youth Home, a new therapeutic shelter to keep youth from spending nights in CPS offices, couch-surfing in unsafe places, out of the ER, being sent to juvenile detention, or living on the streets because there is nowhere else for them to go.
The Birnbaum Youth Home will provide a safe, stable place for youth in crisis. A place to breathe, heal, and find their footing. They are in the final stretch, and every gift moves them closer to opening the doors.
I hope you will support me in this effort to help them reach their fundraising goal and bring this critical resource to the Missoula community. All donations are tax-deductible. Please consider asking your employer whether they offer company matches for donations you make.
Thank you for your support!
