A shoebox of bills, and 20 seats to fill
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] came to our Tuesday night class with a shoebox of unopened bills. A money coach sat down with them, and they left with a first monthly budget.
This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 so 20 neighbors can finish our four-week budgeting and credit course. That's $50 per seat, covering the workbook and materials.
Before the crowd arrives, would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts help us start the day with momentum. A gift of $25 covers one student's workbook and handouts.
