Dear Family and Friends,          

As many of you may already know, I am involved in fund raising for the nonprofit charity Homes for Our Troops.  I am a member of Kids for Our Troops, a division of Homes for Our Troops for kids.

For those of you not familiar, Homes for Our Troops is a 501(c)(3) charity committed to building or adapting existing homes for our severely disabled veterans who have sustained life-altering disabilities and injuries and are now returning from the War on Terror currently going on in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am asking you to help us out with a tax-deductible donation to Homes for Our Troops. It has been a difficult year financially for all of us, and I hope we can count on you for a generous donation of $100 or more.  As always, any amount you can provide is greatly appreciated.  

I thank you for your time and consideration of this request.  We look forward to whatever support you can provide.  If you are able to donate privately, please also check for matching funds through your employer.  Many companies have matching programs which you may not be aware of.  If you require additional information on Homes for Our Troops, please contact me and I will be glad to provide it.  You may also visit www.homesforourtroops.org and www.kidsforourtroops.org or contact them via phone at: 866-7-TROOPS.  You can donate online by visiting www.homesforourtroops.org. Please make checks payable to Homes for Our Troops.  The (insert your event name here) event is (insert dates here), so if possible return the donation in the enclosed, stamped and addressed envelope by (insert date here).
