Making sure you hear from me personally re: this match opportunity
Dave Conrad, Sandy Hook Promise
Friend, as the Chief Financial Officer at Sandy Hook Promise, I have firsthand insight into how essential supporters like you are to our work to protect children from gun violence. That’s why I wanted to personally follow up.
I won’t sugarcoat things: The clock is running down on our fiscal year, and I’m getting worried that we’re going to miss our crucial match goal.
That’s a big problem because firearms are still the number one cause of death for children in our country. That means we cannot settle for simply sustaining our life-saving programs. We need to expand them to reach more children, more schools and more communities.
That’s why, until midnight on Friday, a generous group of donors is providing up to $350,000 in match funding to double the impact of all gifts until we use those funds. This fiscal year-end campaign is vital, friend, and I can’t stomach the thought of falling short of our match goal. So as we get down to the wire, I need to ask you directly:
Without your support, our work wouldn’t be possible. That’s why I can’t ever thank you enough for all you do to help us prevent gun violence and save lives – especially during impactful moments like this one.
Dave Conrad
Chief Financial Officer
