Student’s Family Name and Class: ___________________________________ Annunciation School Family 465 Westchester Avenue Crestwood, NY 10707 (914) 337-8760 RE: 3rd Annual Annunciation School Student and Faculty Walk-A-Thon Dear________________________________, I am very excited to be participating in the 3rd Annual Annunciation Student and Faculty Walk-‐A-‐Thon and am writing to request your support in helping me raise money for Annunciation School. Last year’s walk-a-thon raised over $35,000, with 87% of our school families participating and we had a great time supporting our school. This year, the funds raised will be used for student and faculty enrichment programs, updated computers for all students, and also for iPads for our early childhood program. Annunciation, like other Catholic elementary schools, is self-supporting, surviving financially only from our families’ tuition fees, various fundraisers, our parish’s help, and other generous donations from families, benefactors, and alumni. Every penny that we raise during the walk-a-thon, exactly 100% of the proceeds raised, will go to Annunciation School to support the educational tools our teachers and students need. During our walk, we will also be praying for special intentions that are noted on the donation cards. The walk-‐a-‐thon will be held on Friday, May 22, 2015. This is an opportunity for my classmates and me to raise money for Annunciation School. Students of all grade levels will walk from Westchester Avenue, across Hothorn Avenue, down St. Eleanoras Place, and back to Annunciation. Then we will celebrate with a homeroom party and a DJ dance in the gym. I would really appreciate it if you would please consider a donation to support me walking on Friday, May 22nd. Any level of donation is greatly appreciated, and we are praying for a broad base of support. If you can send us any amount we would be grateful. Whether you can send $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, or any higher amount, please have total confidence that your tax-deductible donation will be put to great use at our school! Sincerely, _______________________________ TURN OVER PLEASE è When sending your donation please note: Checks should be made payable to Annunciation School and mailed in the enclosed envelope. • Please fill out the form below and include it with your gift. • If your gift is eligible for a matching gift from an employer or other institution, please advise us so that we may apply for the matching gift. • Please make sure to include any intentions you would like the participants to pray for during our walk. • As noted above - all gifts are tax deductible. • Please return your donation to us by May 1, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• Please complete this form and send this back to Annunciation School with your gift by May 1st.

The walk-‐a-‐thon raised over $35,000 while building school spirit with an activity everyone enjoyed. It was a wonderful day, filled with school pride, fun and prayer. This year’s walk-‐a-‐thon will focus on raising money for student and faculty enrichment programs, updated computers for all students, and also for iPads for our early childhood program. At an assembly on Friday, we will have a kick-off pep rally and your child will be given all the details regarding the walk-‐a-‐thon. Each student is asked to bring in the suggested seven to ten, addressed, stamped envelopes to school. The envelopes should be addressed to relatives, neighbors, friends, or any other person you can think of to request some support. Also send in seven to ten return envelopes stamped and addressed to Walk-A-Thon Committee, Annunciation School, 465 Westchester Avenue, Crestwood, NY 10707. The students will personalize the letters in class – all you need to send in are both sets of envelopes, addressed and stamped. The students will complete the personalization of the letters in class and will be given time to draw a picture or write a personal note to include with the donation requests. If students bring in the addressed envelopes to school on Monday, March 30, they will be able to dress down at school on Tuesday, March 31st. Details parents need to know: • Participants will wear their gym uniforms on the day of the walk. • The walk-‐a-‐thon will begin at 9:30AM, starting with an opening prayer. • The walk will proceed from Westchester Avenue, across Hothorn Avenue, down St. Eleanoras Lane, and back to Annunciation. • The walk-‐a-‐thon will proceed as scheduled, rain or shine. • During the walk, we will also be praying for intentions that are noted on the donation cards. The prayer intentions will be placed on the church altar and will be prayed for during the month of May. • The day will end with a dance party in the gym, a class party and a special treat for all participants after the walk!!! With your support we can make this a great, fun, rewarding event for all of our children and Annunciation School.
