Dear (Family and Friends),

I am writing to request your help in sponsoring me for the GirlVentures Mt. Tam Trek Fundraiser hike that I will be completing on April 23, 2006.   The Trek consists of a 7- mile loop around Mt. Tamalpais and an insider’s glimpse to the magic and methodology of the GirlVentures programs.  I am taking on this challenge in order to demonstrate my commitment to the empowerment of adolescent girls in our community. I have set a personal goal of raising $____ for my effort and I am asking you to support me by making a contribution of $____ to GirlVentures toward this goal.

I passionately support GirlVentures’ mission to empower adolescent girls to develop and express their strengths. GirlVentures was founded on the belief that every girl has natural strengths – courage, creativity, leadership, intuition, body wisdom, and compassion – to develop into a helathy woman.  GirlVentures programs are designed to physically and emotionally challenge girls into new ways of thinking and relating within their environment through safe outdoor adventures, creative arts, and group experiences.

 

Since its founding in 1997, GirlVentures has impacted the lives of over 1,800 Bay Area girls. The girls served are diverse in experience, ethnicity, race and socio-economic status.  Two-thirds of the girls who participate in GirlVentures programs receive full or partial tuition assistance.  By supporting me in the Mt. Tam Trek Fundraiser, you are enabling GirlVentures to continue to offer their innovative programs to all Bay Area girls!

Many thanks,

 

GirlVentures Supporter and Hiker
