Dear Friends and Family,
I am hosting a party with a purpose fundraiser at location on date and time.
Bring just $3 / $30 to the door for free drinks (and food)! When you join our fundraiser to support the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) early childhood literacy nonprofit, Word Rebel, every single $3 tax-deductible donation will provide 1 book to a child (age 0 - 4) living in poverty.
Want to know more? Word Rebel's mission is to close the preschool readiness gap and subsequent achievement gap dividing low- and high-income children. Word Rebel helps children (age 0 - 4) living in poverty build home libraries and learn 1,100 words before preschool - to close the preschool word gap and start school with an equal opportunity to succeed.
Thank you in advance for helping less advantaged children start preschool with the reading skills they need to reach their full potential. Find out more about how you can get involved to help close the preschool word gap: www.wordrebel.org
We look forward to seeing you at the party with a purpose fundraiser at location on date and time.

SAMPLE THANK YOU LETTER
Dear Friends and Family,
I would like to thank you personally, and on behalf of Word Rebel, for your generous support of our party with a purpose fundraiser. I am so appreciative of all you have done to support our cause. Every single $3 donation has provided 1 book to a child (0 - 4) living in poverty in New York City.
In addition to building home libraries, every donated book will serve as an incentive for parents to subscribe to a free evidence-based literacy text message service. Each message offers succinct techniques to empower parents to help build their child’s early literacy skills - despite limited time and resources. This Ready4K literacy program is proven to increase parent's reading engagement and children's print knowledge, expressive vocabulary, receptive vocabulary and reading skills.
Thanks to the generous support of everyone in attendance, we have raised $ ____________ to donate ____________ books to children in need. Thanks to you, these children will begin preschool with the reading skills they need to reach their full potential. Thank you for making story-time and equal opportunity a
