The local hospital is doing another Fundraiser this year to raise money for their Relay for Life Team.

Please look over my letter for mistakes.

I am trying to really talk up outisde orders b/c last year the team just ordered and did not collect outside orders. They did pretty good on their own but could be awesome if they would collect!

wow - 9% sales tax?

I think it looks pretty good, but where it says your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers....." I'd say "co-workers and more" or co-workers, etc"

Also - maybe add in there that this fundraiser benefits the entire community since the hospital is for everyone or something....
 
just an FYI the host benefits are not on the last page anymore!

looks good, though!

Last year they paid me with their credit card. That way I do not have to worry about bounced checks from people I have no contact with.
