Upon embarking on this campaign, I was not prepared for the emotional stories of sacrifice that I would hear.
These stories have made me realize the sincere gratefulness so many of you feel for what Music for All's Bands of America has provided for your kids, family and communities.
We are blessed by these stories and for your passionate support for our mission.
We are sending this eblast out to most every email that we have in our system, whether a network subscriber or not, in an attempt to engage everyone in this campaign.
If you are seeing this message for the first time, please visit the bands.org/alumni site and learn about the details and see the previous eblast messages that have been sent.
Yesterday we received two pledge gifts of $5,000.
If you or your school is in the process of raising funds for the campaign, please let us know via email today or tomorrow.
You can email to development@musicforall.org.
Pledges can be counted towards income in the current fiscal year.
Gifts by credit card can be made using our secure website.
Checks received in the US mail must be postmarked on or before Saturday, February 28, 2009.
The same pledge rule applies to groups who plan to use the PULLANTROPY fundraiser before the end of the school year.
The $1000 pledge can be booked with a signed contract.
