A "thank you"

Last week, you saw our charitable donation go through.  This week, we got a note from Kate Larned at United for DC, thanking us for the donation.  Thought I would pass it along.  It provides a nice update of what the organization is doing and how our modest contributions are helping.  Check out United for DC's website here.

Best wishes to Kate and her team - and keep up the good work! 

Hi Peter and Ally,

 

Sara is no longer working at D.C. United- she left to be a full-time mom. I have been working here for almost two years and have taken over running the foundation since Sara left. I can't tell you how much we appreciate your support over the years- especially in economic times such as these. The check arrived late last week so I will have your charitable receipt to you this week.

 

Our year has been going pretty well. We just finished our second set of spring reading visits at our six adopted D.C. schools. The children completed a three-week reading challenge and all got excited for summer reading (as farfetched as that seems). As well, United Soccer Club just finished up its spring after-school soccer program. And our next fundraiser- the golf tournament- is coming up on July 9th. So as you can tell things are moving right along.

 

It has been a tough year for finding sponsors and donations so your contribution is greatly appreciated. Our Kicks for Kids program in particular is struggling to find support but your donation alone will help us bring out seven kids to experience a game that otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity.

 

Again, thank you for keeping us in mind. We hope to see you at an event soon.

 

Best,

Kate
