Dear Mom,
Yes, it's true. I'm dancing for money now. But it's for a great cause. I am a performer at the South Bend Center for the Homeless "Dancing With Our Stars" event. It's exactly like the TV show, except I am raising money for the Center for the Homeless.
For the next month, I will be taking one-on-one lessons with a professional dancer to prepare for a performance in front of a huge crowd on Friday night, April 22.
It is a dance competition, but what really counts are the "votes" (the dollars) that each participant generates. The winner will be the dancer who raises the most money. The real winners, though, are the guests at the Center for the Homeless. That's why I am asking for your vote.
I've been charged with raising $15,000. How can you help?
1 vote to Support a Guest for one day = $43
7 votes to Support a Guest for a week = $301
30 votes to Support a Guest for a month = $1,290
Corporate sponsorships are available at the $5,500 and $12,000 levels
You can use the link above this sentence to place your "vote" for me and make a gift to help those at the Center for the Homeless.
In gratitude for your support,
Jerry
p.s. If you're wondering if you should forward this to more family and friends, please do. I would greatly appreciate it.
