Last year (my first walk) I sent out about 20 letters to various local businesses who were involved in my local chamber of commerce. I got one donation back and it was SO worth it--$200 from a casino!

The moral of my story is to ask EVERYONE! You never know who has been affected or who can help.

Good luck!

Mary

This may sound lazy, but I'm impressed with the response you received. Would you be willing to post your letter for others to adapt and use?

Yes Mary, can you please post your letter? I'm in the very beginning stages of my fundraising, and I'm a bit intimidated..
