THANK YOU PARTY--to say 'thanks' to all of you!


If you haven't partied with I Think I Can yet, now is the time. And if you have had the ultimate pleasure of attending our previous events, this one you won't want to miss.

This event is to show y'all how much we've appreciated your hard work and dedication to ITIC. Plus we want to make you like us after all we've bugged you in the past 10 weeks.

The details:
April 21st
Parea Wine Bar & Cafe
5:30-8:00 pm
Free food, drinks, and special gifts.

Please RSVP on our evite, which you should have received last week. If you haven't gotten the evite invitation, it means you haven't started your campaign yet. There's still two weeks to get your campaign started, and we'd love you to do so, and then come join us at the party!

Please let us know whether or not you can make ASAP it so we can make you your own personal Thank You gift bag.

David Stassen Final Email Example (he raised an additional $1,075 after sending!)



I've stopped running.

But you don't have to stop giving.

I ran 150 miles in 29 days (finished two days early, not that I'm cool or anything). So I've completed half of my goal.

The other half is to raise $5,000 and we're pretty close.

If you've already contributed, thank you very much. If you have considered doing so but haven't yet...

Check out the website. There's a new picture. I've stopped sweating. Now I'm just creepy.

Mary Gregory Final Email Example (She raised an additional $1,445 after sending it out!)


Dear Peeps,

You are very patient with me as I send these emails, and a number of you have given to At The Crossroads for which I am VERY grateful. But I'd really like to raise at LEAST $3,500, so here's a last appeal for the 2010 campaign.

For the few of you who are new to the campaign, here's the deal. Each year, we ATC supporters challenge ourselves in some way, and then seek encouragement for our challenge through your donations to At The Crossroads. ATC supports homeless youth on the streets of San Francisco, and does a fantastic job building trust with young people and helping them build the kinds of lives they envision for themselves.

My challenge has been to walk every day--at least around the block--and I've walked all but three of the past 81 days since I started my campaign. Whoo-hoo! Go to:

http://atthecrossroads.org/campaign/marygregory1 (and when you've finished looking at my page, and have made a donation!, click on the I Think I Can logo at the top to go see other campaigns. There is a WIDE variety!)

I hope that those of you who haven't given yet will open your hearts and your checkbooks (it's very easy and secure to give on line), and help me get to my fundraising goal!

This is a wonderful organization and a wonderful community of supporters. What could be better?

Thank you, thank you!
Mary

Angelo Santiago Final Email Example (He raised $315 additional after sending it out!)



Hi again friends!!!

This is the last email I will send about my curly hair fundraising campaign and it's also my final push to raise money for At the Crossroads while at the same time growing my hair so that I can donate it to charity. Currently I have raised $1,051 of my $1600 goal with the help of 14 donors!!!

If I am unable to receive any more donations I am schedule to cut my hair on April 16th. With your help I am trying to raise $1600 and cut my hair at the very end of May.

To encourage you to donate my friend Jodie Ellis has created a incredible and inspiring video for my campaign. Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ09RcDysVY

To find out more about my campaign please feel free to contact me directly. You can also learn more or donate $1, $5, $20, $100, $500 or as much as you want at http://atthecrossroads.org/campaign/angelosantiago1.

Thank you so much everyone for your help and support.
Angelo "Curly Hair Extravaganza" Santiago.

This video, by veteran campaign Angelo Santiago, is basically brilliant.
