We are writing you to invite you to participate in Footprints’ Annual 200-10 Fundraising Campaign. Our goal is to attract at least 200 people to donate a tax- deductible gift of $10 or more to our organization. Footprints is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization designed to nurture and cultivate a positive self image for girls 9 – 17 years old, while building character on the principles of Self Respect, Life Endeavors, Community and the Arts.
Footprints is transitioning into a stronger community based organization with additional focus on enhancing partnerships with other youth serving organizations in the Greater Cleveland area. There is strength in unity. The more Footprints reaches out to collaborate with other youth serving organizations, the better our opportunities will be to ensure that the success of Footprints extends beyond the walls of Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center.
The contributions raised this year, will support the following activities/programs:
Weekly Footprints Sessions – provide supplies and materials for weekly workshops (i.e. – handouts, arts & crafts, seed money for community service projects, etc.)
Women of Note Series – informal dinners where Footprints members meet and talk with women who are making a positive impact in our community.
Annual Summer Educational and Cultural Trip – participants will be visiting local colleges and cultural institutions during the second week of August 2009 in Chicago, IL.
If you would like to make a $10 (or more) donation, please use one of the following methods:
Cash – Give contribution to a Footprints Staff Member.
Check – Please make all checks payable to Footprints (PO Box 606198, Cleveland, OH 44106).
