Dear Supporters, I hope that this holiday season finds you and your families well. During this time of selfless giving, I would like to tell you about a remarkable opportunity you have to turn a $10 donation into $15,000 to give children in Zambia the opportunity of an education. All of you already donated so generously to the Supporting Success Scholarship Fund in our last fundraising drive on GlobalGiving, so I am hesitant to ask for your generosity again, but this is an incredible opportunity that I cannot pass up, which is why I am writing to you again. In the middle of the GlobalGiving Project Challenge – in which, with your help, we raised over $11,000 – we were invited to participate in a second challenge, the “Everybody Can Win” Challenge, for projects focused on children’s health and education. This challenge rewards any project that can raise $5,000 from 50 donors before December 15th with a $2,500 bonus. On top of that, it provides prizes of $15,000 to the organization that receives the highest number of donations, and $10,000 to the organization that raises the most money. Supporting Success has already secured the $2,500 bonus and we are currently in first place in the number of donations received, putting us in position to win the $15,000 bonus if we can hold the position. This is why we need your help. Please donate just $10 today to help us secure this prize money and reach as many deserving children as possible. $10 is the minimum donation that GlobalGiving will allow, but even this small contribution can help us provide scholarships to over 100 students in Zambia. You can track our progress at http://www.globalgiving.com/dy/v2/everybodywins.html to see how we do in the challenge. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to concretely change the life of a child that desperately needs your help. Please donate at http://www.globalgiving.com/pr/2400/proj2360a.html, and then pass this message on to your family, friends and colleagues before the challenge ends on December 15th. Thank you so much for your generosity. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
