Dear Friend & Supporter,

 

This summer Dr. Jim Simone, a Harbor House honorary board member, will be competing in the 2006 Atacama Desert Crossing in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.  This is a 150 mile, 7 day ultra marathon that begins July 23, 2006.  He has competed in many grueling events, and has traveled the world in an effort to continually challenge himself, but more importantly, to raise funds for deserving charities.  This year all pledges will be given to our organization.

 

Harbor House is a not-for-profit organization that provides comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence and their children.  Harbor House has been in existence for over 25 years, and the need for our unique services continues to grow.  Unfortunately because of budget cuts and shifting governmental priorities, Harbor House funding has not increased proportionately. 

 

In order to expand our services to meet the needs of our community, we are asking for your pledge dollars.  Not only will your involvement sustain Dr. Simone’s efforts to complete this race, but your generous donation will also aid survivors of domestic violence in their own journey. 

 

Please do not send any money at this time.  This is simply a pledge form.  All we ask is that you indicate the level of support with which you are comfortable, and we will contact you in the near future to collect your tax deductible donation.  Please feel free to keep track of the race or email Dr. Simone at www.racingtheplanet.com.  Your correspondence and encouragement are sure to be a great inspiration to him.

 

Sincerely,

 

Harbor House Board, Staff, & Volunteers
