3 | 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. |
2 | 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 |
3 | 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 |
3 | 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. |
2 | Respectfully, |
