Dear Friend,

 

On behalf of The Jim Doody Foundation, we would like to introduce ourselves and invite you to participate in the Third Annual Jim Doody Celebration for Hope to be held on April 28, 2006 at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester.  Mr. Doody, former Supervisor of Eastchester from 1983-1993, lost his battle with brain cancer in April of 2003 at the age of 56.  As we undertake this exciting project in his cherished memory, we are grateful for the support of the community he served.  So many of you generously supported our auction last year and with your help we were able to raise over $75,000 for brain cancer research for a second consecutive year.

The auctions will once again be the central part of the celebration and we depend on the generous donations of the local businesses to make the event a success.  When you donate a tax-deductible item, you will receive extensive exposure for your business as you will be highlighted in the display on the day of the event and in the Auction Program.  The Auction Program will be distributed to everyone who attends the dinner dance and we are expecting at least 500 people, most of whom will be local residents

Proceeds from the event directly benefit The Preston Robert TIsch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University where everyday they give hope to thousands of brain tumor patients and their families.  Their research on brain tumors has led to some major advances in the ways brain tumors are treated and they are continually searching for a cure for brain tumors altogether.

To facilitate the final packaging of your item and the printing of our detailed program, we will need to receive your item on or before April 10, 2006.  Please include a business card with your donation. 

The family and friends of James Doody as well as other brain tumor patients and their families sincerely appreciate your generosity and support.  Thank you for your consideration.

Very truly yours,
