To friends and your professional network

Hello <NAME>,

I am reaching out to you because local youth need our support. As you may know, I am supporting JA Central Ontario, an organization that empowers young people to succeed by providing them with essential financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship education. I hold JA dear to my heart because I have seen firsthand the positive impact that JA learning experiences have on youth.

This school year, the demand for JA programs has been overwhelming, and JA has a huge waitlist of students waiting to receive a learning experience. I invite you to support the Erase the Wait fundraising campaign to help reduce this waitlist.

Please join me by making a donation to JA today! Together, we can help JA connect students to volunteer mentors, bringing real-world learning into the classroom and community, helping students to manage their financial health and envision their career paths.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to give back to our community.

Sincerely,
