In spite of that, Pleasant Run Children's Homes, with the help of hundreds of volunteers and others who really care, continues to make a significant impact on the futures of families and kids in need of help.

Dear Friend:
1
We all hear about today's increases in neglect, abuse and abandonment of those who can't fight back: children.
2
This is not newsletter.
2
Yet few of us hear enough about kids who live through these adversities and do make the grade.
3
The positive side.
2
These are special children.
2
It is a fund-raising appeal.
2
They come into a Pleasant Run program...
2
whether it's for therapeutic help in their own homes (which nurtures whole families), through foster care families or in the familial surroundings of our residential homes.
2
Your contribution will make a difference in a child's life.
3
It can certainly make happy holiday memories.
3
A gift to Pleasant Run means the children in our care will have presents to open.
2
A gift means a family will have a holiday meal, cooking utensils to prepare the meal and dishes to serve it on.
3
Your gift will go beyond the holiday season.
2
It can help purchase clothing, school supplies, books and educational tools throughout the year.
2
Please take a few minutes to mail a donation to Pleasant run.
3
We wish you and your family a new year full of joy and love.
2
Sincerely,
2
Mary Roth Executive Director

This is the time of year when we give thanks for the warmth and love that surrounds us.
2
And this time of year is an occasion to remember those not as fortunate as we are.
2
Pleasant Run cares for at-risk children and families.
2
We do this through a wide range of programs including community- based, therapeutic foster care, group homes and our treatment center.
2
The holiday season is the time of year when we're all busy buying gifts, baking goodies, decorating our homes and making arrangements to be with family and friends.
1
Many of the children are victims of abuse or live in unstable homes.
2
Today we are asking you to take a few minutes to consider making a contribution to Pleasant Run to help the 1,500 children families we care for.
1
Many of the children have no homes; no memories of joy from past holidays.
1
Others are from families that are struggling to provide a healthy, happy environment but don't have the resources to make it possible.
2
If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Lisa Lusk or Marcia Whited at 693-9222.
2
We would like to have families matched with sponsors non later than xxxx.
3
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make this a memorable holiday season for a family in need.
2
It's hard to believe that the holiday season is only two months away.
2
Every year we seek companies, organizations and individuals to sponsor one or more of our families.
2
These families are participants in our community-based programs.
2
These programs focus on keeping the family together by providing counseling and other services to the entire family.
2
After our caseworkers meet with these families and their children they often find they lack even the basic necessities such as cooking utensils, beds, cleaning supplies, etc.
2
We meet these needs immediately.
1
But, the holiday season is a particularly difficult time for these families.
2
We are asking you to consider sponsoring one of our families for this holiday season.
2
At Pleasant Run, Inc. we are making plans and arrangements for our children and families.
2
It costs $225 to send one child to camp.
2
Many members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis can't afford to go to camp without financial assistance, and that's why we need you!
2
Please make camp possible for all deserving Indianapolis children and send in a tax deductible contribution today in the enclosed envelope.
2
Yes, it's that time of the year -- the start of the Boys & Girls clubs of Indianapolis' Camp.
2
Consider sponsoring 1, 2, or 3 children.
3
No matter the size of the donation, please know that your gift will be appreciated and make a difference.
2
Sincerely,
2
Richard Dickinson

Sponsor a child at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis' summer camp today!
2
Six weeks of learning and exploring, sports, arts, and fellowship.
2
A time for a youngster to enjoy the fun and benefits of residential camp living, dedicated staff and instruction, and a chance to make special friends.
3
I know you're committed to ensuring today's children have safe, healthy, and positive summer experiences.
2
That's why I want you to learn more about the Super Summer Safari Camp.
2
At Super Summer Safari Camp, there are daily sports, nature, and arts activities.
2
Dear Friend,
2
In addition to the fun stuff, important life-skills such as self-esteem, leadership, and interpersonal cooperation are being developed.
3
It's summertime, so it must be time for CAMP!
2
We are counting on you now to help us get where we need to be tomorrow.
2
Would you please consider a gift of the same in 1999?
2
Please, give generously.
2
The kids are depending on you.

Respectfully,

That's where the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis come in.
2
We reach out to kids -- especially those from disadvantaged neighborhoods where the risks are highest.

We give them a chance to realize their own potential by giving them a place where they can develop a sense of competence, of usefulness, a sense of belonging and of influence.
