Name,
As you may know, I help lead a trauma healing course in our community that is helping military, first responders, and all families heal from trauma. It has not only changed the lives of those we’ve reached, but it has changed my life as well. I never could have imagined the stories I would encounter as I served these brave men and women.
We are excited to continue our momentum and impact even more lives next year. To cover the cost of our upcoming course materials, I’m participating in an online fundraising campaign. All I need is 10 people to commit to helping raise $150 each to hit our goal.
Would you join my fundraising team? It is very simple and will only take a few minutes!

As you may know, not long ago I began leading a course in our community to help veterans, first responders and all families heal from trauma. It has not only changed the lives of those we’ve reached, but it has changed my life as well.
I never could have imagined the stories I would encounter as I've served these brave men and women, and I’d like to invite you to be a part of this incredible journey. We offer our course at no cost to participants, and the materials and curriculum needed to lead our course for the coming year cost $1,000.
A gift of any amount would make a huge difference and your donation will support the mission right here in our community.

The stats don’t paint a pretty picture.
- Veterans account for over 14% of all suicides in the United States, despite making up less than 8% of the population.
- The #1 killer of law enforcement officers is suicide.
- A Fire / EMS department is three times more likely to experience a suicide in a given
year than a line-of-duty death.
- Emergency room doctors and nurses commit suicide at more than double the rate
of the general public.
And our community isn’t immune. But there is hope. Our trauma healing course through REBOOT Recovery has helped countless families heal from trauma and reconnect with their faith. Please consider giving to show these incredible families that we haven’t forgotten about the sacrifices they have made.

Name,
As you may know, not long ago I joined up with an organization called the REBOOT Recovery to begin leading a course in our community that helps veterans, first responders and all families find healing from trauma. It has not only changed the lives of those we’ve reached, but it has changed my life as well.

Subject: Why I'm doing this
Name,
According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in ten Americans seriously considered suicide last year. For our veteran and first responder families, the challenges are even more dire:
- Veterans account for over 14% of all suicides in the United States, despite making up less than 8% of the population.
- The #1 killer of law enforcement officers is suicide.
- A Fire / EMS department is three times more likely to experience a suicide in a given
year than a line-of-duty death.
- Emergency room doctors and nurses commit suicide at more than double the rate
of the general public.
And our community isn’t immune. But we're doing something about it.
Since getting involved with the REBOOT Recovery, I have seen the devastating impact of trauma but also the hope and healing that can come afterward. That’s why I’m asking for your help to make sure our community can continue to offer trauma healing courses to military and first responder families at no cost to them.
A gift of any amount goes a long way. Would you please consider giving?

Subject: An opportunity to support our local heroes
Dear (BUSINESS OWNER),
I am writing to inform you of an opportunity to make a difference in our local community. I am a part of a local group called REBOOT Recoverythat is providing community, support and healing tools for veterans, first responders and all families suffering from trauma. Through this course, we have experienced lives changed, marriages transformed and healing like never before.
Between March 8 and March 24, we are participating in an online fundraising campaign and our goal is to raise enough money to continue providing this course at no cost to participants.
In order to meet this goal for 2021, we are looking for local businesses to financially support our course location. $1,000 will provide curriculum, outreach materials, and ongoing leader support for the entire year.
Would your business be able to donate and help our local heroes and their families?
