Dr. Ms. Dean,

On behalf of the North Shore Medical Center (NSMC), our cancer patients and their families, thank you for your gift in the amount of $100 10 benefit the NSMC Cancer WALK 2003. Your donation, together with all WALK proceeds. will be directed toward the Phase I renovation of the medical oncology space at the NSMC Cancer Center in Peabody. This enhancement will create a calmer, more serene space for patients to meet with doctors by separating the physician practices from the chemotherapy treatment area.

We are pleased to report that despite inclement weather on Sunday June 22nd thousands of people joined together for the 13′” Annual NSMC Cancer WALK. The day was filled with smiles, fun and memories and we are proud to report that for the fifth year in a row, we broke the million-dollar mark (gross proceeds) and we are on target to raise $1.3 million!

It is the support of people like you who made NSMC Cancer WALK 2003 such a great .-success. Together we will make a difference.

Sincerely,

Carrie P. Campbell
Director of Special Events

Dear Naomi:

I want to thank you for your generous donations for the 1st Annual Iron Horse Biathlon. Because of such strong support from people, such as yourself, we were able to raise money for both the GOAL Foundation and The Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association. Thanks to your generosity this event was a huge success. The participants had a wonderful day of riding, competing, and camaraderie for two good causes. The participant who won your gift certificate was thrilled. He & his wife were looking at office furniture and a dining room set at your Westboro location just a few weeks prior.

We wish to again thank you and Bernie & Phyl’s for your generous help and support of this event to benefit these worthy charitable causes. We have already started planning next years event including plenty of advertising to start months in advance. We hope we will be able to count on your support again in the future.

Sincerely,

Bart Kincaid
GOAL Board of Directors

I hope you realize the tremendous difference your generosity makes in the lives of so many people.

Dear Ms. Shore:

Thank you so much for your recent donation of a gift certificate to Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture valued at $50 for Father Bill’s Place 9th Annual Food Fest and Auction. This is our largest fund-raising effort of the year and we appreciate your support. You are a part of our mission…. ending homelessness one life at a time. You are contributing to, what we hope will be, a tremendous success of Father Bill’s Place 9th Annual Food Fest & Auction! We truly appreciate your efforts to assist those in need of a home in our community.

I hope you will continue to support this endeavor. I would also be happy to hear any feedback you may have to make next year’s event more successful. Because of your support Father Bill’s Place has been able to develop unique responses to poverty, hunger and homelessness on the South Shore. In the past five years our efforts have expanded beyond the mere provision of shelter and emergency services.

I hope you realize the tremendous difference your generosity makes in the lives of so many people. Thank you, on behalf of our Board of Directors, Staff, and guests of Father Bill’s Place. Enjoy the summer!

Dear Naomi,

On behalf of the Peabody Chamber of Commerce, we would like to thank you for your recent donation to the Chamber’s 15th Annual Live Television Auction. The event held on June l0th and 11th at the Peabody Community Life Center was a great success due to your generosity - one of our best ever!

Your support helps the Chamber of Commerce continue its mission to provide information, resources, advocacy, and programs for the business community and the general public. It also allows the Chamber to support groups like the Peabody Education Council.

As always, feedback is important to us. We feel like each year we do a better job promoting our donors in pre-event publicity and in on the air commentary. While we realize many of you did not have an opportunity to view the auction, any feedback, critique items, or thoughts on how we can serve you better is always appreciated.

We know you are constantly being asked by many well deserving programs to support their cause, and we appreciate the opportunity you have helped create for the Chamber. We know your donation was also an investment in your business, and we are committed to helping create a good return for you.

Sincerely,

Dave Hall
Peabody Chamber of Commerce Executive Director
