Dear [Name], 

As you may know, Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation means a lot to me and my family. They were there when I needed support, and now it's my turn to support them. This year I'm participating in DASH for Detection to honor [insert name and/or motivation], and all of the other patients, survivors, and families affected by this horrible disease.

With all that's going on in the world right now, I realize that there are many worthy organizations in need. This disease continues to affect thousands of patients and families every day, which is why I'm fighting for my [loved one's name] and Pancreatic Cancer patients everywhere.

Rolfe Foundation's hands-on, personal approach remains a lifeline during these uncertain times. Their work has a tremendous impact on families like mine, and by supporting Rolfe, I'm working to make sure others don't have to go through this alone.

Please visit my personal page today at [insert link to fundraising page] to learn more, and to make a donation. Every dollar counts, and I truly appreciate your support!

Thank you,
[Your Name]


P.S. Don't forget that many mid to large-sized companies have a donation matching program, does yours? Check HERE.
