IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM TIM PEREZ:
Dear Friend,
As you may or may not know, I lost one of my best friends to cancer at a very early age. This experience greatly affected me and I have tried to honor my friend’s life by financially supporting organizations in his memory. The mission which I have supported most significantly is Paige’s Butterfly Run. In the fall of last year, I decided to take a big step and join their board (with a 3-year commitment).
As part of my board service, I have been asked to raise funds to support the mission. The cause is amazing (see below & the attached newsletter)! I am asking for personal donations as well as larger event sponsors for our events which may be seen on our website: www.pbrun.org.
You may donate online at my personal donation page: Tim Perez Fundraising Page.
Checks can be made out to: Paige’s Butterfly Run and sent to me directly to my home address: 7508 Birdsong, Cicero, NY 13039.
If you are able to partner with us through a corporate type, larger sponsorship, I can put you in touch with our executive director to discuss opportunities.
I am hoping you will find it in your heart to help this very worthy cause that I am very passionate about. These children and families need our help now more than ever. Please feel free to call me to discuss (315) 415-4986.
Thank you,
Tim
