Emily's Valentine Piano Practice-a-thon

Dear Family and Friends,

I’m participating in the “Sibbel Studio Valentine’s Week Practice-a-thon” to raise money for the Emergency Residence Project (ERP) in Ames, Iowa.

 We hope to raise $3,000.00 to help children and families have a warm, safe home for the winter.

 The Emergency Residence Project seeks to provide shelter with meals, referrals and, if possible, intervention to prevent homelessness.  Last year, ERP’s Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and Homeless Prevention programs helped 2,372 people, housing an average of 45 individuals a night, about ½ of whom were children.  For more information, go to: http://www.amesshelter.org/erp/.

 I will try to practice­­­ 100 minutes or more during a seven-day period between February 7 and 14, 2013, and will be very grateful if you sponsor me, either with a pledge for each practice minute or a donation of any amount.  I usually average 75 minutes per week.

 All contributions are tax deductible, and 100% of your gift goes directly to assisting a family in need.

 Please write your check directly to Emergency Residence Project and send it to me if you want to claim your gift as a tax deduction.  You can also send cash or a check to my parents and they can write a check to Emergency Residence Project. 

 Thank you so much for considering sponsering me!
