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

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
