[Salutation]

I'm proud and excited to participate in a unique stair climb fundraiser to end domestic violence on Thursday, October 18, 2012 called Story by Story, and I need your help!

This event directly benefits inMotion, a nonprofit that provides free legal services to battered women and their children.

1,000 inMotion supporters will come together on October 18 to climb the stairs of 1411 Broadway—a 42-story skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan's Fashion District and Times Square.

My goal is to raise $[_____] to help the families in domestic crisis. Please support my climb by making an online donation. To access my personal fundraising page, click on the link at the bottom of this email message.

All donations are completely tax-deductible.

There are also many volunteer opportunities to help set up and assist with the event. Learn more about volunteering at the event.

Be a part of a critical chapter in the life of an abused family.
Please make a donation today!

Thank you,
