Hi __________!

I am emailing about a DESIGNCONNECT fundraising opportunity, and I would greatly appreciate your support. You may be familiar with marathon fundraising techniques where runners train and, while doing so, raise funds which they donate to the marathon for its cause. DESIGNCONNECT’S cause is to provide support to Detroit area youth pursuing art/design careers, which requires a runner-like dedication. This is why I’m pledging to complete a creative project over the next month as part of the 2023 CREATE-A-THON fundraiser.

By creating, I’m supporting a vision of an inclusive and diverse creative workforce. Your donation to CREATE-A-THON 2023  makes this vision possible!

Thank you so much for your support!
