Your support provides more than the obvious.  It’s a testament to the caring and outreach of the Boston business community.

Dear Naomi,

I am writing to thank you for your generous contribution of a gift certificate, which will be used in our live and silent auction and raffle during the Team Easter Seals Celebrity Shootout being held on February 28th.

The money raised in the Celebrity Shootout, auction and raffle helps Easter Seals provide services to ensure that people with disabilities have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play.  Out of every dollar that Easter Seals raises, 88 cents goes directly to services for people with disabilities and their families within Massachusetts.

Your donation is helping to make that possible.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Shore:

Well… We did it for the kids!!!  Our annual Raffle and Silent Auction held in December 2007 was a resounding success.  $9,489 was raised for the Transportation Children’s Center (TCC).  Your donation of a $25 gift certificate was greatly appreciated.

The money raised will help defray the total costs of renovating the children’s bathroom.  The construction and renovation will replace the existing bathroom which is 21 years old.

We fully understand the significance of the community and the support that it provides the Center by assisting us in our financial endeavors.  This allows us to continue to offer a Center that is dedicated to the nurturing and care giving of children within our community.

Again — we truly appreciate your support and contribution!

Sincerely,

Laurie Morelli

Webster House has been providing a caring home for children since 1884.  We can’t do it without commuinty involvement.  Thank you for being there for us, for your commitment to helping others and for your goodwill and community spirit.  Your kindness and friendship is greatly appreciated.

Have a healthy and prosperous 2008 and know full well that you have made a powerful impact on the children who live at Webster House.
