I received this email earlier today from a colleague my good friend works with. It certinally touched my heart, and i thought i would share it with you all. This disease affects 1 in 100 children Also if anybody knows any businesses who would be willing to help there are contact details at the end. To me this is a very worthy cause it made me stop and think what if.. what if it was my child or niece or nephew cousin ect.... there are many other organisations i do support dont get me wrong. As a member of markets and fairs magazine i have done all i can at the moment and that is putting adds on our website and on our email club that goes out to 1800 ppl every 2weeks. So please have a read and i hope you are all as touched as i was..
Dear Gemma,
I am writing to you concerning a charity which is close to my heart and concerns our children.
I am the mother of a little boy who suffers from Juvenile Arthritis and was diagnosed at the age of two. It is a painful and cruel disease which can affect 1 in 100 children and at this stage there is no cure and we are not aware of the causes.
For the past two years we have been actively seeking the support of friends, organisations, businesses and the general public alike, through a fund raising dinner, to aid in the research for finding a cure and we are extremely proud to say that we have achieved so much! Our efforts have enabled the University of New South Wales to open the first ever research laboratory for Juvenile Arthritis / Uveitis in Australia.
In order to make this event successful again, we require prizes, gifts and cash donations from organisations such as Markets and Fairs magazine. We will be holding various raffles and a live Auction on the night, as well as great entertainment and a great time to be had by all. The dinner is being held at the Doltone House on 17th September 2010 and will have an attendance of 400 people. Your logo will be displayed on our website as a sponsor as soon as we receive a confirmation of donation, also displayed on the night, and we offer the opportunity to put your fliers/magazines in the gift bags taken home by all.
I understand that there are many charities that would request donations from you on a daily basis and you must be inundated with emails such as this one. Any donations that you may be able to supply large or small would be of great assistance to helping us continue the research into finding a cure. As soon as any donation is received we would put Markets and Fairs' logo on with our current sponsors (of which include such names as Nokia, Jim Beam, Imax and Kelloggs) and Markets and Fairs Magazine would be noted on the night.
Please feel free to visit our website if you would like more information on Juvenile Arthritis Fundraiser.www.juvenilearthritisfundraiser.com
I thank you in advance for taking the time to read my email :-)
Warm Regards,
