Dear XXX, 

Start by sharing your Y story or why you support the Y. Your role at the Y.

At the Y, 1 out of every 5 of our members are on financial assistance for membership and/or program
fees. By donating today, you can help more kids participate in youth sports or learn to be safe around
water. You can assist cancer survivors reclaim their health after treatment ends or you can help children
be safe within the walls of our Y on a daily basis. We host blood drives, coat drives, food drives and
often collect items for our Christmas Giving Trees to help those going through a touch time. As you can
see, our work in the community is not finished.

As we raise funds for our Annual Campaign, we turn to you for support. A meaningful gift will help us meet
our goal of $XXXX. Please consider a pledge by June 7 to be included in the 2024 Annual Campaign.
The need is real, and YOU can make a difference. Invest in our community, donate today to the YMCA
of Greater Brandywine. I’ve made my donation; can I count on you to make one too?

Your donation can be a pledge which does not need to be paid until the end of the year. Please consider
helping by making a pledge now. The link to pledge is ymcagbw.org/donatenow.

Feel free to reply to this email and let me know your preference. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and keeping you informed about the
work we are doing in the community.

Yours In Service,

Your name and branch
