Don’t delay, help One Call for All | LETTER TO THE EDITOR


November 26, 2012 · 8:32 AM

To the editor:

By now, every Island household has received their Red Envelope from One Call for All. Perhaps yours is piled with some catalogs on your kitchen counter, or maybe on your desk with some unpaid bills. I admit it - my Red Envelope is sitting on my coffee table right now, waiting for me to pull out my checkbook.

So why don’t we all just get this done NOW.

There are so many reasons to be a part of One Call. For example, if your passion is kids and families, with one check you can support these great groups (and many others):

Bainbridge Schools Foundation - providing critical support to schools as public funding shrinks;

Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra, Kids Discovery Museum, Bainbridge Youth Soccer and Boys and Girls Club - bringing music, art, science, sports and fun to our kids; and, of course,

Helpline House - a lifeline for families in need.

You create your own menu of giving – it's fun. And 100 percent of your donation goes to the charities of your choice.

Be a part of a 50-year tradition of island generosity. Mail your donation today (or give at onecallforall.org). You’ll feel so good when you do. Thanks!
