To Whom It May Concern:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing you
today to request your assistance in a Thanksgiving initiative I am
spearheading to feed 40 disadvantaged youth, ages 16-20 at the
Turning Point Center in Brooklyn, NY on Thursday November
25th.
A chef and owner of Designs by Sweet P, I felt compelled
this holiday season to use my talents to offer children at the
Turning Point Center a home cooked Thanksgiving meal. As I started
spreading the word about this initiative, I have received a
tremendous outpouring of support from other chefs in NYC, along
with a host of friends from many different industries.
On
Thursday, November 25th during the hours of 10-3pm, with
Chefs Jourdan-Cha'Taun, Ashley Allison and Donna Jaye and some of
my closest friends, we will provide a full Thanksgiving meal,
donated clothes, games and canned goods while speaking to the
children who have come from abusive homes, suffered substance abuse
and homelessness and affected by HIV about the importance of
education, setting goals for themselves and more.
We
kindly ask your support in making this the best holiday these kids
could have hoped for by donating any of the items we have listed on
the below list. Your assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
All
donations are tax deductible:
