June's Fundraising Letter -

Her copy for an acquisition pack not only doubled our database but also made a significant profit.

We had 20 gifts of $5000 or more when we usually average 1-3 gifts in this range for each appeal.

Our total income surpassed our target for this year’s campaign by 25%, and achieved an increase of more than 30% on the previous year’s appeal.
