Dear ___________________,
I am writing you today to tell you about an upcoming event that I am participating in that is both very important and very exciting to me. It is NAMIWalks for the Mind of America, NAMI's signature walkathon event that is being held in Austin, TX on October 2nd, 2005.
[**Insert a paragraph here about how and why you're particpating (i.e. for a family member, friend, for your company etc.).****]
I would like to ask you to donate to support my affiliate's participation in this great event. Visit our affiliate's team webpage at: http://www.nami.org/namiwalks05/TEX/namilubbock. It features links to some of the walker's pages where you can see who will be representing "The Lubbock Legends." There is also a link so you can donate directly to the team or your favorite walker(s) online. Donating online is fast and secure, and they'll get immediate notification via e-mail of your donation. If you would prefer to send a check, you may do so by making it out to NAMI Texas/NAMIWalk and sending it to me in the mail.
NAMI, the Nation's Voice on Mental Illness, formerly the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, is the largest education, support and advocacy organization that serves the needs of all those who's lives are touched by these illnesses. This includes persons with mental illness, their families, friends, employers, the law enforcement community and policy makers. The NAMI organization is composed of approximately 1100 local affiliates, 50 state offices and a national office.
The goals of the NAMIWalks program are: to fight the stigma that surrounds mental illness, to build awareness of the fact that the mental health system in this country needs to be improved and to raise funds for NAMI so that they can continue their mission.
NAMI is a 501(c)3 charity and any donation you make to support my participation in this event is tax deductible. NAMI has been rated by Worth magazine as among the top 100 charities "most likely to save the world" and has been given an "A+" rating by The American Institute of Philanthropy for efficient and effective use of charitable dollars. NAMI has also been given 4 out of 4 stars by The Charity Navigator for short-term spending practices and long-term sustainability.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
