Post race fundraising letter/email
April 27, 2009
Hi [Insert name of recipient],
Last Saturday, I ran [or walked] the Country Music Half Marathon. It was challenging, but I crossed the finish line strong. It was a huge accomplishment, no question about it. Even more meaningful, I ran [or walked] in order to help provide scholarships for low-income elementary school students at Franklin’s New Hope Academy.
[Choose one of the following:]
I’ve committed to raise $1,000 as a part of training and completing the half marathon with New Hope’s Powered by Hope team. I need your help to reach that goal. Will you donate $50 [$25, $75, $100, $200] today? Click here to donate now.
