A snapped helmet strap and a $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, our 12U girls have kept growing. [Player's name] has worn the same hand-me-down helmet for three seasons, and the strap finally snapped at the last practice.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for new uniforms and helmets, enough for 20 players' worth of new helmets and jerseys before travel season. A new helmet with a facemask is $50.
Would you give early, a week ahead? Early gifts get the progress bar moving and give everyone else a reason to join.

One snapped helmet strap, and a whole season felt shaky.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and [Org name] is raising $1,000 to replace worn helmets and jerseys for our 12U girls travel softball team.

Some of our gear is years old, and one helmet strap failed at a recent practice. Safe equipment shouldn't depend on what a family can pass down. If your business sponsors local youth sports, I'd welcome a conversation about matching gifts. Please share this with your network too.
Every dollar goes to the program because we use Zeffy, which is free for nonprofits.
