“Hello, my name is <NAME> and I am participating in the Chesnut
Challenge, a fundraiser for my school. We hope to raise money to
make our school even better, like continuing Spanish instruction,
beautifying the front of the school and adding even more math
and science in our outdoor classroom! Will you make a donation to
help support me? I’ll send you an email so you can donate online, or
you can send cash or a check made out to Friends of Chesnut.
Thank you so much!”
