Dear [Team Name],
Let me tell you a little about the reason for this email. Girl Power 2 Cure, Inc. is a 501c3
nonprofit organization working with Roller Derby teams nationwide, seeking to raise
awareness and research funds for Rett Syndrome, the most devastating form of Autism
which primarily affects girls. We are a local family and our daughter suffers with this horrible
disease. She is unable to speak, use her hands, or move around normally.
We would to love join forces with the [Local Team Name] derby girls for our cause!
April is Autism Awareness month and the PERFECT time to get involved! I hope you will take
a moment to check out our “Rollin for Rett” webpage and join in the fun! The women of
Roller Derby are perfect examples of "Girl Power" and we would love to have your support!
THANK YOU for your consideration; you will be making a difference in the life of thousands of
little girls, including my daughter [Daughters Name]. With your help, Rett Syndrome will be
the first curable neurological disorder!
With grateful appreciation,
[Your Name and contact info]
