Concord-Carlisle Community Chest Challenge

Sample Fundraising Letter

Dear

On June 5, 2005 I am taking part in the Community Chest Challenge, a team triathlon to benefit the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest. My team will bike 11 miles from the North Bridge to Carlisle Center and back, run 3 miles from the North Bridge over Nashawtuc Hill to the South Bridge, and canoe 2 miles from the South Bridge Boat House back to the North Bridge.

Each year the Community Chest supports more than 30 human service organizations that feed the hungry, serve individuals with special needs, protect the abused, and care for children. In these times of economic uncertainty and government cutbacks, funds raised by the Community Chest are more important than ever. You can find out more about all the good work supported by the Community Chest at www.communitychest.org.

I am asking you to help sponsor our team. We need to raise at least $600, but hope to bring in much more. A tax-deductible donation in any amount is appreciated. Checks can be made out the the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest.
Knowing we have your support will be a real boost to our team.

Sincerely,

Terri Triathlete
