Mr. and Mrs. Prospect/Donor Address

Dear Prospect/Donor,

Thank you again for taking the time to visit Camp Ramah in the Berkshires last week. I know that you en- joyed visiting with (prospect/donor’s child/relative at camp) and seeing first hand what her days are like here at camp.

Rabbi Resnick, Rabbi Roth, and I all appreciated the kind words that you said about camp, our program, and our staff. We are delighted that (prospect/donor’s child/relative at camp) had a great experience, and look forward to welcoming them and (hopefully) (another prospect/donor’s child/relative at camp) to camp next year.

We have recently launched a new capital and scholarship campaign. Create Your Match, like Meet Your Match, provides Camp with a matching grant from the Grinspoon Foundation if we meet specific fundraising targets. For your information, I have included a flyer from Grinspoon explaining Create Your Match in more detail.

I hope that you will support Create Your Match with a gift of $5,000. This gift can be paid in installments as long as it is paid fully by October 30, 2012. Because this is a matching gift program, your gift will enable us to receive an additional matching grant from Grinspoon and our community donors, making it that much more meaningful.

As you saw first hand, Camp Ramah in the Berkshires provides transformative experiences for Jewish chil- dren and teens. Through Ramah’s innovative and creative programming, campers learn life skills such as co- operation, independence, and leadership. Our dynamic informal education infuses each camper’s summer with Jewish learning, Hebrew language, Jewish values and traditions, tefillah, mitzvoth, and tikkun olam. Your support will give us the resources to continue this valuable mission.

I will give you a few weeks to enjoy (prospect/donor’s child/relative at camp) homecoming, and digest this information. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and I’ll be in touch towards the end of August.

Warmly,

Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, Inc. E-mail: [email protected] www.ramahberk- shires.org Winter Address: 25 Rockwood Place, Suite 345, Englewood, NJ 07631-4957 Tel: 201.871.RAMAH (7262) Fax: 201.871.7232 Amy Glazer Development Director
