Dear Naomi:

On behalf of the patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the committee would like to thank you-for your generous contribution, involvement and most of all support of the 7th Annual Big Dreams SM Small dinner, auction and fashion show held on April 2d, 2005 at the Boston Park Plaza. Your support for this event helped raise close to - $195,000 which will directly benefit treatment for the children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Over the past seven years, more than $1.1 million dollars has been raised, through this event!

Your contribution to the 7th Annual Big Dreams Start Small dinner, auction and fashion show has a tremendous impact on the lifesaving work done at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The primary focus at St. Jude is finding cures regardless of the cost, which is why people like you are crucial to helping find a cure.

The Big Dreams Start Small dinner, auction and fashion show is an annual event, and it is our hope that you will join us again next year so that we may continue to grow and inspire others to carry on the mission of “Finding cures. Saving children.” We would be honored if you would join us next year when we once again unite in our efforts to raise money until a 100 percent cure rate is achieved. Our world-renowned research could not be done without wonderful and caring people like yourself. You are the reason why the many children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital can be treated at no cost, and for that, we are eternally thankful. It is people like you that are a “beacon of light in a parent’s darkest night.”

Many Thanks,

Mary Beth Carulli

Dear Ms. Shore:

Thank you for the generous donation of a Gift Certificate for the Camp Fire Auction. We attribute the success and continued growth of our organization to people like you who believe in our cause and give so freely. Camp Fire depends on and thrives year after year because of the incredible support of communities and businesses that realize the great importance of our program. Thanks to you, our auction that will be held on April 30, 2005, at The Wakefield Elks, will be able to raise much needed funds that allows Camp Fire USA to continue to offer many valuable services at an affordable rate. Your charitable donation will be acknowledged in our auction program book.

The success of our auction helped us achieve our mission: Camp Fire USA builds caring, confident youth and future leaders.

Without support like yours, many of the club, camping, and self reliance programs could not continue and the children who participate through sliding fees and camperships would not be offered that assistance.

Once again, from all of us at Camp Fire, our heartfelt thanks for your support and help.

Sincerely,

Joanne Connor
Auction Committee
