Have I got a deal for you...

An anonymous donor has pledged to match up to a quarter of a million dollars for any gift made, designated, or postmarked December 23rd for this year's Christmas campaign. What does this mean for you? If you put a quarter in a red kettle on December 23rd, it automatically becomes 50 cents. If you write a check for $100 and write "match" in the memo line, it automatically becomes $200. $1000 becomes $2000, $10,000 becomes $20,000...you get the point.

During such tough economic times, what an incredible opportunity to let us literally double the amount of money that you are able to give this year!

What can you do?

1. Spread the word! Tell everyone you know about this great opportunity!

2. Adopt a Kettle: Offer to do your own match up to a certain dollar amount for a specific kettle location. Then every cent put in that kettle will actually be tripled! (Matched once by you and once by our anonymous donor.) Let me know if you're interested in this lynnea.erickson@usc.salvationarmy.org

3. Donate money in a red kettle, online, by calling 800-SAL-ARMY, or by mailing a check to 2445 Prior Ave. N., Roseville, MN 55113. Write "match" in the memo line of a check for your donation to be matched. (All donations made on 12/23 will automatically be matched)
