Dear Ms. Shore:

Special thanks to you for the generous donation of a gift certificate valued at $25.00. This gift was a terrific auction item at this year’s “Friends of Hospice” Annual Gala.

The theme for this year’s event celebrated the Silver Anniversary of Old Colony Hospice -we are so proud of that. We enjoyed a marvelous evening - scrumptious dining, auction of twenty-five select items and dancing to a vibrant band at the Boston Mariott Hotel in Quincy on October 22, 2004. Honoring our special supporters and enjoying the vibrant personality of Ms. Susan Wornick, of Channel 5 WCVB-TV, completed our very worthwhile evening!

Our goal was to provide our guests with an enjoyable night and to raise awareness of the benefits of hospice care during the celebration. The $62,000 raised at the Gala directly benefits programs that Old Colony Hospice offers, including nursing care and costly medications.

As a supporter, Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture was promoted in our program book for the event and will be listed in the next Report of Gifts.

Since 1979, Old Colony Hospice has provided compassionate, expert medical care and programs that focus on body, mind, and spirit - with an understanding that serious illness profoundly impacts the patient as well as family and friends. Teams of health care professionals $ill serve more than 700 patients, plus their families, this year, regardless of their ability to pay. This makes it critically important for us to raise money through sponsorships.

Thanks for your role in our evening –

Marilyn A. Jackson
Director of Development/Marketing

Dear Ms. Shore,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and program participants of East Boston Social Centers, I thank you for your donation of a $25 gift Certificate. The donation will make a wonderful prize at our $10,000 dinner and raffle on November 10th.

The Social Centers serves more than 1,000 people each year through its formal enrolled programming. We provide childcare, teen tutoring and prevention education, family supports, and elderly services for a diverse, predominately low-income population. The income generated by our fundraisers allows us to continue to provide programs and services

We thank Bernie & Phyl’s for giving back to the community and helping us to fund crucial services for the children, families and elderly of East Boston

Because East Boston Social Centers is a charitable non-profit, tax-exempt corporation under. IRS section 501(c) 3, and because EBSC has provided you with no services in exchange for your gift, the entire value is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Again, we thank you for your generosity.

With Sincere Gratitude,

Marisa Di Pietro
Director of Development

Dear Friend:

It is my pleasure to thank you for your generous gift of $200.00 to the 16th Annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. Your gift will go directly to patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

This year, over 7,000 walkers and volunteers are working together to raise $4.75 million for the fight against cancer. Your support is critical to their efforts - and to the work of the Institute’s physicians and scientists.

Each year, thousands of patients and their families turn to Dana-Farber for the most effective cancer care now available. At the same time, our talented physicians and scientists are searching for the fundamental causes of cancer and more effective ways to stop and prevent this all too common disease. With your help, they will rapidly realize the promise of this research, changing the way we understand and treat cancer for years to come.

Again, thank you for your generous support of the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. Fighting cancer is truly a team effort.

Sincerely,

Edward J. Bau; Jr., M.D.
