Dear Max,
It has been a busy time for newsletter updates from the Charles Bruce Foundation this month, but there is just so much going on all at once! We've been working on the plans for our trip to Washington D.C. in April to display blankets in support of Johnson in the homeless rights case being argued at the United States Supreme Court. Then there is the celebration of our 10 year anniversary with a Day Long Party at Thornwald Park stage - one month after the close of the Summer Music Season. We'll have a great lineup of bands and wonderful ways to celebrate. Keep watching for updates for more details, but for now, save that date, September 7th, the first Saturday after Labor Day. Many thanks as your contributions will help some great bands get to perform for us - and the general public to hear great music free of charge.
Most importantly, this is March, the biggest opportunity you, our supporters, have to maximize your giving to Charles Bruce Foundation efforts. The Partnership for Better Health, M&T Bank, Josiah W. and Bessie H. Kline Foundation, WellSpan Health, Highmark, and Penn State Health have given us the opportunity to tap a portion of their available $150,000 in matching funds. Again this year, they will be doubling the first thousand we receive, and we will receive a proportional match after that..
As we pointed out in our opening announcement for this year's March Madness, donations through the program are 100% tax deductible. There is no minimum contribution to participate. Donations may be made online or via check to the Partnership for Better Health during the month of March. All contributions from donors will be given directly to participating organizations.
Please help us as we strive to achieve a goal of $10,000 in Match Madness giving to honor our 10th anniversary. Whether you give $10, $100, or more, the Partnership will increase your support. You can designate you gift to the Charles Bruce Foundation at the Partnership for Better Health's official Match Madness webpage by clicking on the donate button below. You can also simply point your phone's camera at the provided QR code to be taken directly to their website. If you prefer to donate by check, you should make it payable to the Partnership for Better Health and list The Charles Bruce Foundation in the check’s memo line and mail it to:
Partnership for Better Health
274 Wilson Street
Carlisle, PA 17013
Thank you for keeping us in mind for your giving this month, and thank you for all you've done for us in the past.
Sincerely,
CBF Board of Directors
