Dear Friend:
National History Day needs your help.
While the program is as strong as ever, we find ourselves facing a financial challenge. One of our major donors has decided to go in a different direction from National History Day and put his support elsewhere. Unfortunately, this news came to us quite recently, with only a few months left in our fiscal year. To fill this gap, we must raise $800,000 by August.
You have participated in NHD as a student, teacher, judge or parent and seen firsthand the amazing impact NHD has on young people. You have experienced how NHD can transform students’ lives. And you know that a quality study of history is vitally important to our democracy—to preparing engaged and thoughtful citizens. NHD provides that type of study.
With that in mind, I am hoping I can count on your support through this challenging time by making a contribution to National History Day today. If everyone donates just $50, we will be half way to our goal. We hope you might consider more, but want you to know that we will appreciate any amount that you can give.
I am working hard to recruit new sponsors for NHD and am confident that we will be back on track when the new school and program year starts in September. I am equally confident that, with your help, National History Day will find itself on fine financial footing come August.
Visit nhd.org/donate to give today. If you wish to mail a check, please send it to 4511 Knox Road, Suite 205, College Park, MD 20740.
Thank you for participating and supporting National History Day.
Sincerely,
Cathy
