Hi all,

WIth all the craziness around us, I needed to stand up and do something good for our community. When I found out that Ruth Ellis Center was hosting STRIDE: The Ruth Ellis Legacy Walk, I knew I wanted to get involved.

LGBTQ+ young people are not only disproportionately affected by homelessness, but also overly represented in the child welfare system, and living at the devastating intersection of inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, I knew I wanted to get involved.

That's why I created my own fundraising page for STRIDE: The Ruth Ellis Legacy Walk. This virtual walk is designed to raise awareness and the critical funds necessary to sustain the important services at Ruth Ellis Center for years to come.

Check out my fundraising page and please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of [Your Fundraiser's Goal Will Automatically Go Here].

Give today.

Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!

Hi [Donor Name],

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my fundraising campaign for STRIDE: The Ruth Ellis Legacy Walk. Because of you, we'll be able to raise awareness and the critical funds necessary to sustain the important services at Ruth Ellis Center for years to come. LGBTQ+ young people, especially LGBTQ+ young people of color should know that we see them, and hear them. They should have access to the resources necessary to build their vision for a positive future, as you and I have had. You're not only helping me to reach my fundraising goal, but you're making a real difference for LGBTQ+ young people.

This is such a worthy cause and I'm proud that we're on the same team.

I'll keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, I recommend that you check out Ruth Ellis Center's website. They're doing great work.
