Dear ________________________,

It’s time for my school’s annual fall fundraiser! Rather than creating the illusion of value by selling you stuffyou don't need, we're asking you to create a few Magic Moments around school by directly contributing tosome of our most important educational programs. This allows my school to keep 100% of the profits! Themoney is used to bring nearly 30 in-school programs to my school this year. My teachers have helped pickedthese programs to enhance what they are teaching me in class. My classmates and I will be rewarded withassembly featuring Circus Mojo to celebrate doing our best during this fundraiser. My personal goal is to raise$50 so I can receive different prizes AND get to attend a bonus workshop with the Circus Mojo crew where I willget to learn my very own circus trick. Will you consider helping me reach my goal? Any amount you give willbe greatly appreciated.Donations can be made 2 ways:

1. Cash or checks (made payable to JF Burns PTO) are accepted. Please be sure to put my name in thesubject line so I am sure to get credit for your donation. I must have my money turned in by September

19 th , so please be sure to get it back to me before then.2. You can donate with a credit card or PayPal account. Simply visit my school website to donate:
