Family and Friends,
For the past 14 years, the AHA has put on an event called “Paint the Town Red.” This is an event that raises money to support research and awareness for fighting Heart Disease and Stroke. The reason that I am reaching out to you is because this cause is very near and dear to my *heart*. Heart Disease and Stroke is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Everyone has lost someone that they have known and loved to Heart Disease and Stroke. Every year ~600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States -- that equates to 1 in every 4 deaths.
This year the event is Saturday, January 23, 2016 at the Fayetteville Town Center. Our purpose is to raise money to support research and awareness for fighting Heart Disease and Stroke. While I know you may not be able to attend the event, any financial contribution would help my committee reach our goal! The money raised could very well help out you or someone you love in the future.
Please join me in supporting the American Heart Association by making a donation today.
With heartfelt thanks,
<3Amy
