‘Thank you for your support and commitment to Mothers Ay
{sa non-profit organization whese mission is "to stop drunk driving, support the victims ofthe violent
crime and prevent underage drinking
‘To continue conducting our effets to save lives and champion laws that protect our children, we need to
{depend on the support of those who want to make a difference. In the spring 2012 we will be holding our
“th annual Walk like MADD to raise much needed funds. We are asking local businesses to donate gift
certificates or merchandise that can be used as an incentive for walkers to raise money for MADD,
silent auction items, or for use to purchase/provide much needed supplies for wall day such as
water, refreshments, ete. We hope we can count on your support again this year. Your business name
‘wil be included in out Walk event guide distributed the day ofthe walk tothe hundreds of walkers who
attend as our way of saying “thank you” and acknowledging your support of MADD’ mission
MADD Michigan was founded because drunk driving was maiming and killing our families, and in even
greater numbers our children, We ae all terrified of receiving that cal in the middle ofthe night or the
police officer at the door to tells something tragic has happened to someone we love. Someone is killed
inan aleohol-rlated crash every 33 minutes in this country. That's alot of phone cals that instantly can
cause families lives to take a rage painful turn. MADD takes pride in knowing thousands of lives have
been saved because of our efforts aerss the country. But, everything we have accomplished, every life
\ve have saved means nothing othe family wo will lose a loved one during the 33 minutes it takes me to
write this letter
| understand that you ae probably overwhelmed with requests from the public; but, if itis possible for
you to honor this request, you willbe helping us continue the fight against drunk driving-~- and you will
‘surely help save precious lives.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity. Ifyou have any questions or noed
addtional information please contact Lauren or Beth at 248.528.1745 ext 303,
Sincerely,
