We Need Your Help!

As many of you know, Reach is one of three organizations selected to benefit from Deals for Deeds during the month of August. We'll be posting each of the daily deals on our Facebook page. We know you might not be interested in every deal you see, but we hope you'll consider spreading the word to those you think might be intrigued. Even better, you could sign up to receive Deals for Deeds' email each day. For every 250 people that sign up here, Deals for Deeds will partner with Casey Trees to plant a tree in DC. Getting great deals while giving back to the community - what could be better?

Additionally, I've decided to indulge my competitive side through a friendly wager with Sara Gibson, Director of Development at Miriam's Kitchen. Whichever organization raises more money through Deals for Deeds during the month of August will receive a $50 donation from the losing organization's executive. There's only one problem: WE'RE LOSING!!

Miriam's Kitchen is off to a fast start, and they've raised about $80 more than Reach at this point. Our competitor has been around for more than 25 years, and they have a legion of dedicated volunteers. We're clearly the underdogs, so we need you to spread the word about Deals for Deeds. And, more important, we need you to encourage your friends to support Reach when they take advantage of the site's amazing discounts. Please forward this to your social networks and help Reach prevail in our competition with Miriam's Kitchen!

Thanks, as always, for reading.
Mark
