Dear friends and family,

I’m writing to ask for your support as I volunteer at the Montgomery Dragon Boat Race & Festival on August 27th at Riverwalk Park.  Please make a contribution to help me reach my fundraising goal of $XXX. Your contribution is tax-deductible, just click on this link: [COPY AND PASTE YOUR PERSONAL DONATION PAGE LINK HERE. THE LINK WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE EMAILD WHEN YOU CREATE YOUR PAGE].

All proceeds from the festival benefit two local charities, Bridge Builders Alabama and Rebuilding Together Central Alabama. Bridge Builders is a wonderful organization that hosts summer camps to teach civic responsibility and leadership skills to teens. Rebuilding Together helps low income homeowners in our community--especially seniors and the disabled--by organizing volunteers to provide critical home repairs and modifications so they can live in a home that is warm, safe, and dry!

Please check out the festival website http://www.montgomerydragonboat.org, spread the word and come be part of this great event in Montgomery. Even better, post a comment and “LIKE” the festival facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/mgmdragonboat.

Thank you for your support, and “ Paddles Up!”
