Dear Naomi,

Thank you for your donation of a $25 gift certificate for The Greater Boston Food Bank’s Second Helping Gala. This donation helped us to raise over $1 15,000, which will enable us to continue to rescue an estimated 4,000 pounds each and every week of perishable and prepared food that would otherwise go to waste.

Begun in 1989 as a joint venture w@ the Boston College Alumni Association, Second Helping is the critical link between food establishments willing to donate their surplus and a wide range of emergency and non-emergency feeding programs. Donors to this vital rescue program include caterers, hotels, corporate cafeterias, universities and restaurants. Last year Second Helping collected more than 216,000 pounds of nutritious food, providing the equivalent of nearly 166,000 meals to those in need.

In addition to daily pick-ups and deliveries by Food Bank staff using our own trucks, we now facilitate the direct transfer of even more surplus by serving as the intermediary, matching available donations with the needs of our Second Helping recipients by food type and amount.

To learn more about hunger in Massachusetts and how we are serving people in your area, we invite you to visit our website, www.abfb.org. The site is also secure for making additional charitable gifts to Second Helping, Kids Cafe, Brown Bag, or wherever the need is greatest.

Thank you again for your thoughtful gift!

Sincerely,

Carla Kindt
Director of Development and Capital Campaign

Dear Ms. Shore:

We want to thank you for your donation to our “Taste of Braintree” fundraiser this year. The success of an event such as this depends on many things, especially the kindness of individuals and businesses that support our efforts and generously donate to our silent auction. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Approximately 1,000 people attended this special event - more than triple the number of last year. I have enclosed a copy of our event brochure.

With this year’s proceeds, the Parent Involvement Program was able to sponsor a Braintree High School team to compete at the National Robotics Competition in Atlanta, Georgia. We are proud to say that they placed 3rd among 53 teams nationwide. With this being their first time - what an awesome accomplishment! We also plan on continuing with our middle schools’ robotics teams, with this year being able to sponsor a novice team and an advanced team at each middle school.

Besides funding the MCAS tutoring program for our fourth graders, we are pleased to have another opportunity to enrich the education of the children of Braintree. The sixth graders will be able to participate in a tutoring program in preparation for their math MCAS tests. We strongly believe in supporting math, science and technology programs. With your help this year, we were able to expand these programs and many others.

Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation, which helped to make this day an extremely successful one for the children of Braintree.

Sincerely yours,

PARENT INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM

Dear Ms. Shore:

On behalf of Old Colony Hospice, thank you for supporting the Old Colony Hospice Classic III. Your recent donation of a gift certificate valued at $50.00 and show of support will be a terrific addition to the tournament.

On August 22, our slate of golfers will enjoy a beautiful day at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton. Following the tournament, we’ll enjoy lunch and the awards ceremony in the clubhouse, in addition to our Auction/Raffle with many desirable items.

Our goals are two-fold: To provide the players with an enjoyable day and to raise awareness of the benefits of hospice care. Special thanks to you for your donation - it will be received with enthusiasm at the event, and we will list your business as a supporter in the program book and our fall newsletter.

This year, Old Colony Hospice will provide highly skilled, compassionate care each day to 75 - 85 patients and their loved ones. We care for patients with compassion and dignity in private homes as well as skilled nursing facilities. Donations such as yours help us bridge the gap between what we are paid by insurers and the true cost of providing care and medication during this most difficult phase of life.

Sincere thanks,

El Mulligan, CMP Event Coordinator

Dear Ms. Blumenthal:

On behalf of the Saugus River Watershed Council, I would like to thank you for generously donating a $25 gift certificate to Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture for our annual River Night benefit dinner and auction last spring. Thanks to support from you and many other area businesses and individuals, this year’s event was a great success raising over $17,000 in funding for our river restoration and environmental education programs.

Proceeds from this year’s River Night event have already supported our numerous environmental research, youth education and river restoration projects. This spring and summer, Saugus River Watershed Council staff and board members have been working with volunteers to track water quality conditions and fish populations in the watershed. Results of these programs are used to support efforts to improve water quality in the river and restore habitat for smelt, river herring and other wildlife. In June, we hosted our second annual Saugus River Picnic and Children’s Festival at the Saugus Iron Works to provide free environmental education activities, games and live music for families throughout the region. Your support of River Night will also help us to promote public access improvements at locations such as the 8.2-acre former “Bacon” property located along the banks of the river in Saugus.

Thank you again for helping to make this year’s River Night event our most successful fundraiser — we really appreciate your support. Please call me at 781-233-5046 if you have any questions about the Saugus

River Watershed Council or our programs. I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer.

Sincerely,

Joan LeBlanc,
Executive Director
