Dear Ed,

We are entering the final week of our Open Challenge. To date, we have raised 10% of our goal. We have partnered with the GlobalGiving Foundation to participate in its Open Challenge, a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations working around the world. Our project is Empowering our American Veterans through Art workshop. We are positive you have touched many lives by serving our Country. Now it our time to support you and “Thank you”. After fighting for our freedom, Veterans come home and are suffering PTSD. These workshops help them work through their trauma. Your donation stays right here in Milwaukee.

In order to succeed in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge, the Charles Allis Art Museum must raise $4,000 from 50 donors by December 22, 2010.

Please help us reach the threshold of $4,000 from 50 donors! Be one of the first people to make a donation at http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/empowering-our-american-veterans-through-art/  Not only will your donation help the Veterans Art program at the Charles Allis but, it will help us take advantage of a long-term fundraising opportunity!

We’re also going to need your help spreading the word!

Thank you  for everything you have done in protecting our Freedom

Best,

Patty Redeker
