Dear Ms. Shore,

Thank you for your generous, tax-deductible donation to the Voices Rising Silent Auction Gala in collaboration with the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. With your generous support, Voices Rising will continue to make music that brings together communities and works for social change, from breast cancer and beyond.

Join us for our spring concert “I Come from Women,” on April 28 and 29, 2006. This music will celebrate our chorus members’ heritages and will speak to identities of gender, sexuality and class. Throughout the winter, visit our website for concert updates, photos and ways to help Voices Rising raise funds by shopping online at places like Amazon.com.

Thank you again for your dedication to fighting the causes of cancer and your commitment to making powerful music.

We can’t do it without you.

Sincerely,

Carrie Kleiman, President

Dear Ms. Shore,

Simple thanks are not enough for the tremendous outpouring of giving we witnessed at our “Renew Our Heritage” Auction, on Friday, November 18! One of the most successful fundraisers ever for the Academy of Notre Dame, the evening proved, once again, that parents, alumnae and extended members of the NDA family have not forgotten what our beloved Academy stands for: a shining example of academic excellence.

At NDA, no child is ever left behind-and thanks to your exemplary generosity their future now holds even more promise. You can be sure that many students will benefit from your open hearts and quietly thank you for giving them “The NDA Advantage.” But, the real measure of your success will be how your “heritage” of giving inspires these same students to continue this tradition of support to The Academy-just as many of you have.

Though one can never truly put a number on generosity, we thought you would be pleased to know that we anticipate raising $60,000 from the auction.

These exceptional numbers speak for themselves.

May the blessings of the Christmas season be with you and those you hold dear.

Gratefully,

Dr. Karen M. Juliano
President

Dear Naomi,

On behalf of the Suffolk University 5K Road Race and Family Walk Committee, we would like to express our appreciation for your Gift-in-Kind donation of a gift certificate valued at $50. Your support has helped in making the 7th annual 5K Road Race on September 18, 2005 a success!

Because of your support, the road race is becoming a lasting tradition at Suffolk University. We are proud to announce that the success of the road race has allowed us to establish an endowed scholarship fund at the University to provide much needed financial support to students. Our success this year has reaffirmed our commitment to continue this race as an annual event and we look forward to contacting you over the next several months to ask for your continued participation.

This letter also serves to confirm that no goods or services were provided to you by Suffolk University in consideration for you gift.

Our sincere thanks for helping us make this road race/family walk a truly outstanding event.

Sincerely,

Dear Naomi:

Thank you for your generous support of The Wellness Community’s Annual Fall Gala, Denim & Diamonds. We are delighted you were able to donate a gift certificate. Your donation helped us raise money to ensure that The Wellness Community will be here whenever someone hears the words “you have cancer.”

The Wellness Community is a place where no one faces cancer alone. We bring people together to share their stories and to take an active role in their recovery. Our support groups, educational programs, mind/body classes, creative activities and social events promote well-being and instill hope. Thanks to donors like you, ail Wellness Community services are provided free of charge.

During the past three years The Wellness Community has experienced unprecedented growth, including the opening of a program at the Dimock Community Health Center in Roxbury. Thank you for making this possible and for making a difference in the lives of thousands of families affected by cancer.

Sincerely,

Kathy Cronin

Dear Bernie & Phyl’s:

On behalf of the Norton Athletic Complex Committee, I wish to thank you for your very generous donation of a $25 Gift Certificate. Your donation was raffled off at our Silent Auction during our Gillette Stadium Fundraiser on November 13th, 2005. Thank you for supporting our efforts. Our Girl’s Fast Pitch Softball Field is complete, permanent lights have been installed to the Varsity Football Field, and the Varsity Baseball Field has received new sod and irrigation wells.

We still need to renovate the Junior Varsity Field and the practice fields, provide bleachers for all fields, reconstruct the high school track, and install lights to both the Varsity Baseball Field and the Softball Field. Your donation will help enable the youth of Norton to utilize a first rate athletic facility. We are hopeful, that through your effort, and that of others, our “Field of Dreams” will become a reality.

Thank you again for your very generous support.

Veteran’s Day Tribute to the Troops

Dear Naomi,

THANK YOU!!!!

We now plan to distribute close to 50 scholarships of $500 each to Massachusetts’ service members. Your donation of gift certificates really helped. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your hard work and your generous donations. The numbers speak for themselves. The proceeds are well over our anticipated goals.

As I said on Veteran’s Day Friday November 11th at the Tribute to the Troops Event at Florian Hall in Dorchester, this event was not about the war, either for or against the war, but rather it was about our Service Members, their families, and their education needs.

Our success cannot be attributed to any one person or organization. It was the combination of many special people - either in a group or individually - working collectively toward a common goal of raising funds for service members and their families for their educational goals. The effort started over 3 months ago and really paid off.

One Service Member, Specialist Brendan J. Murphy of Dorchester (my brother), was able to express his appreciation of all our efforts through a live telephone call from Iraq to a crowd of over 400 hundred during the event. Brendan thanked all for sending packages and supporting our troops away from home. May Brendan and all our service members return home safely.

Thank you again and God Bless our Troops,

Sincerely,

Jimmy Murphy
