Dear Family and Friends -
I hope you are having a great summer! I always try to find ways to stay motivated and make a positive impact in the lives of others and in my community. That is why I am honored to support WE CAN and ride my bike 33 miles in a new event on Cape Cod - The Second Summer Cycle charity ride on September17th!
The Second Summer Cycle benefits 19 local non-profits this year. I am proud to be making this commitment and support such an incredible organization. I’m writing to ask for your support by making a donation to The Second Summer Cycle in my name—if you are able to do so. No donation is too small and it will make a significant difference.
WE CAN is a non-profit organization that empowers and supports Cape Cod women to build pathways to self-sufficiency and stability. Founded in 2001, WE CAN provides unique services that inspire hope and bring increased stability, self-sufficiency, and opportunity. WE CAN serves more than 2,100 women each year across Cape Cod with free and confidential legal services, employment and business support, financial empowerment, mentoring, and personal development programs.
As a rider on Team WE CAN , 100% of every dollar I raise goes directly to the services of WE CAN! Your donation is important to me and I know that WE CAN will use every dollar wisely to serve thousands of women with information and referral; legal, financial and work support sessions; their mentoring program--empowering women to achieve their goals and strengthening Cape families.
To donate, you can you can go on line to (https://www.PledgeReg.com/4596/michelledannnaher) or if you prefer, mail a check made out to WE CAN to me at (1020 Oak St., Harwich MA 02645). I hope you will support me as I undertake this great challenge. I thank you in advance for your support. Please know it will mean a lot to me and to the thousands of women and their families that are touched by this special organization each year.
With gratitude,
Michelle
