Subject: Join Me in Helping Kids Get Supplies They Need!
Hello!
This summer, I’ve committed to helping students get the school supplies they need to be successful in school. Every year, Communities In Schools of San Antonio (CIS) hosts the Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive, and this year this fundraiser is even more important. The children and their families CIS serves need help dealing with the complex and stressful issues that they are faced with. When I thought about people who might be willing to help me raise money to purchase supplies for kids, I thought of you. Would you be willing to donate and help me reach my fundraising goal?
I have joined Team _____ and your support will help make my participation as a team member a success. Every dollar counts! If you’d like to help, you can visit my page and make a donation here: _______.
Thank you so much for your consideration to help me reach my goal, and for supporting students & schools. We couldn’t do it without you!
Sincerely,

Subject: It’s time to Stuff The Bus!
It’s time to get rolling! As you probably know, we partner with Communities In Schools of San Antonio (CIS) to provide school supplies for students in need by participating in the annual Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive. This year, Stuff The Bus will be a virtual fundraiser! Instead of accepting school supply donations, we are creating a team to raise money so CIS has the funds to purchase school supplies, uniforms and technology for students in need. While we're doing things a bit differently this year, our commitment to providing free school supplies to underserved students remains the same.
I’d love for you to join me in spreading the word about Stuff The Bus by joining our team as a fundraising champion! Kids need us now more than ever, and I’d love to have you as part of my team to make this campaign a success. We are going to have a lot of fun on Team ____ and we'll be helping kids succeed while we're doing it! Here are the details:
What: Raise funds for the Stuff The Bus School Supply Drive
When: It starts today! We will be asking for support throughout the summer in preparation for the new 2022-2023 school year.
How Can You Help? Registering to be part of team ________ is EASY. Visit our team page _____(insert team url)_______and click Join This Team.
The bigger we grow our team, the bigger impact we can make for kids. If we get big enough, we could collect enough funds to purchase essential supplies for an entire high need school! I'm hoping that you'll accept my challenge as a team member to raise money. Every dollar counts!
