Headline: Help protect women and children from abuse
by supporting Her Justice.

[Salutation]

I'm proud and excited to participate in a unique stair climb fundraiser to end domestic violence on Thursday, October 23, 2014 called Story by Story and I need your help!

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

1,000 Her Justice supporters will come together on October 23 to climb the stairs of 245 Park Avenue—a 43-story skyscraper near Grand Central Terminal.

I hope you'll join [my team/or insert team name]. Together, we will raise vital financial support and awareness for Her Justice. There is only a $50 registration fee and a $100 fundraising minimum to participate—and you don't have to climb all 43 floors to take part in the event. In fact, you don't have to climb at all to participate—you can join my team as a virtual climber! Learn more about being a virtual team member.

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 join me today in making a difference!

Thank you,
[Your name]
