Bleeding Disorders Association Fundraising Drive To our Association Colleagues: Our current fiscal year started on July 1, 2006. During each fiscal year the Association provides indirect support of the bleeding disorders community by hosting an Annual Golf Tournament (last held July 24, 2006), an Annual Picnic (last held August 2006), an Annual Bowl-a-thon (held in the spring and fall), educational retreats, and social events such as "Cabin Fever Party." Each fiscal year the Association also provides direct support to the bleeding disorders community through scholarships (almost 20 in the past five years), camperships, and emergency funds to families with bleeding disorders. The Association can only provide these activities and benefits if funds are available. Funds are raised at some of the social events, some funds are raised through sponsorships and advertisements. Other funds are raised through fundraising activities such as this Fundraising Drive. The Association is hosting a fundraising drive for the fiscal year covering July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. Please support the Association-your Association-with a generous donation. At a minimum, please support us at the $10.00 level, although any amount is welcome. The $10.00 level will cover most of the costs of preparing and mailing out our quarterly "BDA News" and the notices of various events throughout the year. A donation is not necessary to continue to receive mailings, but it will help us continue our activities. Just as precious as a financial donation is a commitment of time. Board members are needed to run the Association and volunteers are needed to staff hosted events. A receipt of your paid tax-deductible donation will be provided upon request. With your support, the Association can continue to provide assistance to the bleeding disorders community. Kevin Pelletier/Debbie Huskie | |||
