Donors who skipped last year
Parking was costing more than a week of groceries
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, our Tuesday night group has kept meeting, and the talk has turned to a cost nobody plans for. One member told us parking at the treatment center was adding up to more than a week of groceries.
Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday. Our goal is $1,000 for 20 gas and parking cards, $50 each, for members and caregivers getting to treatment days.
Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts give us momentum before the day begins, and they help more people see the goal.

- $100: two cards, so two members can get to treatment this month
100% of your gift goes to getting members and caregivers to treatment. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.
