Support Your Chapter's 2015 AFP Now! Campaign
Dear Friends, Why is AFP important to me? How about you? To me, I have built a network of friends and fundraising colleagues, whose expertise continues to inspire me. Because of this, I wanted to give back. I want to encourage each of you to join me in the AFP Now! Campaign. What is this, you may ask? The AFP Now! funds help support your local Dallas chapter in providing scholarships and enhance our local programming. But why should I do this, you may ask? For me, I wanted to say thank you to my colleagues, and ensure our local programming was top notch. For you, it may be to help the next generation of fundraisers. Whatever your reason, I encourage each of you to give today. Our goal for 2015 is $8,500. Will you join me in giving up a few cups of coffee, and click here to make your gift or pledge today! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at hmiori@utdallas.edu or at (972) 883.3728. Sincerely,
Holly Hull Miori, MTS, CFRE 2015 AFP Now!
