Hi [NAME],

Have you always wanted to give back to our community during the holidays, but can never seem to find the time? Well, I have good news for you. Skip Black Friday and Cyber Monday and go straight to Giving Tuesday!

I am a [personalize-board member, committee member, etc.] at the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation and this year we are participating in the first-ever Giving Tuesday! On this 24-hour day of giving, you can give back to the community we all love by donating to NCCF’s Building Community Fund through our  #NYGivesDaypage. All it takes is one click to get to my fundraising page! [ADD THE LINK TO YOUR PAGE HERE]

Giving Tuesday will take place on November 27th, starting at 12 am, so take this opportunity to give back to our community this holiday season!
