EMAIL LETTER

Dear (insert name),

This year I am participating in The Amazing Adventure. Please help support my journey by making a donation. Your gift supports programs and services so seniors can live at home and in their communities with dignity and choice.

Donors like you help shine a light on adopting a home-first approach. Proven benefits of home and community care include delayed admissions to long-term care, reduced demand for more expensive acute care services, and earlier discharge from hospitals.

Thank you for your support!.
