Fundraising Email Template

Dear Family and Friends,

I am participating in Rutgers University Dance Marathon’s FTK Relay this year, a fundraising initiative aimed at virtually bringing together the DM community through walking, running, and biking in our own communities to raise money for Embrace Kids Foundation.

Embrace Kids provides over $2 million in programs and services to children with cancer, blood disorders and other disorders throughout the greater New Jersey area, at absolutely no cost to the family. These support services address the families’ needs as a whole including social services, counseling, financial assistance, health education, inspirational events and more. My goal is to raise $_____ and complete _____ miles by the end of this week. This cause is important to me so I ask you to support me in my efforts and help me make a difference in the lives of the kids by donating on my behalf.
