A message from COPE, a Galway charity supporting the most vulnerable.

Let’s celebrate together so that everyone is better off this Christmas!
Dear Friend,
I am contacting you in my capacity as a Board Member of the local charity COPE Galway with a view to asking you to get involved with us over the festive season.
As you may already know COPE Galway has very strong links with the community here in Galway. Based in the heart of Galway, we provide support, shelter and sustenance to the most vulnerable members of our community. Christmas is a time when this vulnerability and isolation can be felt most acutely.
So let’s celebrate together so that everyone is better off this Christmas!
Our Christmas Day Swim is one of the most popular events of the festive season in this part of the world. We are proposing a new Christmas Venture for 2008: The COPE Galway Christmas House Party. This will allow those less brave souls among us to also take part in some fundraising for COPE Galway while at the same time enjoying the season that is in it!
I wondered if you might be interested in hosting one of these parties for us in your home in the period running up to or over Christmas? Let me explain how it would work:
1. If you agree to become a host, we will send you a COPE Galway Christmas House Party Pack
2. You then invite your friends and neighbours to attend
3. Guests make anonymous donations on the night
4. You announce the amount raised on the night at the event
5. You forward the amount raised to COPE Galway
The type of event you choose to run, the number of people you invite and the timing of the event are totally up to you. We would be delighted to have you on board and thrilled to have some help in raising some much needed funds at this important time of the year. I shall be in touch to see what you think.
Kind Regards,

XXXXXXXX
Board Member
