Dear Friend,
On May 11, 2008 hundreds of women and men will come together along the Erie Canal (Widewaters Marina) in Lockport, New York. The 12th annual Mother’s Day Breast Cancer Canal Walk is a day of hope, as we honor lives lost, celebrate survivors and promote breast cancer awareness. Proceeds benefit “Mary’s Room”, the wig room located at the American Cancer Society and other local charitable organizations that support research, education and breast cancer victims and their families.
I am asking for your support of the Mother’s Day Breast Cancer Canal Walk to help keep Mary’s Room running and maintain an inventory of wigs and turbans while providing dignity and choice to many suffering from cancer. Further, your generosity will help educate Niagara County and surrounding areas on the importance of breast cancer awareness, self-examination and mammograms as well as support local breast cancer research. In return for your generous gift your logo will be put on the commemorative t-shirt (which are given to each participant), along with your company name and contact information on our website. The amount of exposure, potential press coverage and advertising value that your company will receive will not go unnoticed.
Unfortunately, breast cancer has become an all too common occurrence among women and men throughout the world. Now is the time to take action to help end this disease. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to this year’s event. Several sponsorship opportunities are available on the enclosed form that can be made in memory or honor of anyone you wish to recognize. Please make your donation to the MOTHER’S DAY BREAST CANCER CANAL WALK and send the enclosed sponsor form and donation to:
MOTHER’S DAY BREAST CANCER CANAL WALK
36-B Main Street, Lockport, NY 14094
Please know that your support is truly appreciated and will make a difference to many. I look forward to your prompt response as planning is well under way. Please feel free to contact me at 434-9123 or any of the other committee members.
With heartfelt sincerity,
Rebecca J. Kelley, Chairperson
Mother's Day Breast Cancer Canal Walk
