Donates $20,000 to American Cancer Society
New Orleans/Baton Rouge/Lafayette, Louisiana
December 20, 2010
Dear Darryn & Cherine DeWalt,
On behalf of the American Cancer Society, we would like to express our deepest
appreciation for your sponsorship of the Football Camp for Women.
We are proud to be your charity of choice and hope that our efforts meet your expectations! We are so excited that the camp was such a huge fundraising success for the American Cancer Society, as well as a wonderfully educational and social experience for over 1,200 women of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Louisiana.
The participants were able to learn about the sport of football from members of the Superbowl XLIV winning Saints team. The ladies were also able to learn plays and hear statistics about the game in a fun and festive environment.
As you know, the mission of the American Cancer Society is to save lives and create more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.
We are very excited that you organized a fashion show of Saints-wear that was modeled by several breast cancer survivors who volunteered their time and talents. This was a great way to celebrate our survivors and create lasting memories. The ladies had a fantastic time. It is difficult to convey just how thankful we are to your generosity toward the American Cancer Society and your wonderful-giving spirit.
We are happy to have you as
a part of our community now and look forward to a long lasting partnership.
Thank you for your continued generosity. On behalf of the current
beneficiaries of your donations as well as those who will benefit from future cancer
research; we thank you!!!
With gratitude,
Tonya Jackson-Ramsey
Executive Director
