Hi friends and family! I am honored to be a part of Mississippi State Dance Marathon as a [dancer, committee member, exec]! We are a group of dedicated college students raising money for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Le Bonheur in Memphis, TN. We fundraise and plan all year long leading up to our big celebration on February 9, 2019, where we will stand for 9 hours for the kids who can’t.This will be my [1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th] year to be a part of StateDM, and this year I have set a personal goal for myself of $[insert goal amount] to fundraise before the main event.
If you would like to donate to the kiddos at Le Bonheur, my fundraising link is posted below. I would like to thank you in advance for supporting me, this great organization, and the kids!
FTK,
[your name]

Letters
- Hand written letters will sometimes attract the older generations or those who are less technologically ‘plugged in’ to donate more so than sending them an email or hoping they see your Facebook post. This is also a good resource for anyone who is unsure of donating via online. The address and format to fill out a check for StateDM are as follows:
- Center for Student Activities P.O. Box 5368 Mississippi State, MS 39762
- Make the check payable to: Mississippi State Dance Marathon
- Memo line: [name of dancer, committee member, exec receiving donation]
- For cash donations, put money and a note with your name on it in an envelope and mail/bring it to the DM office or executive member!
