Dear [recipient's name]:
As you may know, our organization, the Sioux City Club, participates in local and regional charity events throughout the year. Some of our activities include helping children’s causes, assisting the elderly, and providing aid during weather emergencies. At this time of year, we reach out to community businesses like yours to ask for your help. We would like you to consider sending a donation in any amount to our club, to be used for some of the exciting future plans we have that will profoundly benefit our community.
If you would like to donate, we would be so appreciative. Giving is simple—you can either mail a check using the enclosed reply card, or call us at the number listed on the reply card to donate over the phone. Thank you in advance for your time and for considering the possibility of supporting us. Without your generosity, we would not be able to continue to help so many.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
