Dear [Insert Name],


I would like to personally invite you to support Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) in their efforts to create a greener, healthier Colorado by donating on Colorado Gives Day, December 9.


[Optional: Insert a small anecdote about a positive experience you had with VOC or why the outdoors/the work VOC does matters to you. Ex: This year, I attended a volunteer project at _______ and it was incredible how much work we accomplished in just one day.]


In a time when our public lands need incredible support, VOC volunteers confidently show up to steward the mountains, rivers, and plains that we all cherish. VOC volunteers donated 29,000 hours of labor, saving our state over $1,000,000 in labor costs. With your support, VOC aims to do it all again next year. Help us care for our collective outdoors by donating this Colorado Gives Day.


To donate, head to ColoradoGives.org/VOC. VOC has exciting weekly donation matches and giveaways to help you stretch your dollars even further. Or, you can set up a recurring gift and double your impact. For more info on the matches and giveaways, visit VOC.org/Colorado-Gives-Day.


Thank you for supporting VOC. Together, we can make a difference for Colorado’s outdoor spaces and communities.


Sincerely,

[Your Name]
