Why [Name] squinted at the board all fall

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] squinted at the board all fall until a volunteer at our school screening noticed and told her parents. Our club members want to meet more kids like her.

Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, and our goal is $1,000. That would buy eyeglasses for 10 local children, at about $100 per pair including the eye exam.

Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts give the campaign a running start: [Donation link]

Gifts pay for free screenings and glasses for kids whose families can't afford them. Thank you for caring about this service project as much as we do.

Thank you for giving kids a clearer view

Hi [First name],

Thank you. [Number of donors] donors gave [Total raised] for kids' eyesight. That adds up to [Outcome reached].

[Name] gets her eye exam and new frames, so she can read the board without squinting. Our club members will keep screening kids at school and community events, and we'll share more as the glasses arrive.

Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can give anytime here: [Year-end appeal link]
