Dear Parent/Friend,

We are writing to you today to ask that you consider making a monetary contribution to our campaign of support for the Scranton Diocese Association of Catholic Teachers. Up to this point all of our costs have been covered by donations from a few individuals and we feel that we will be more effective if we have a more substantial fund. By raising funds we are hoping to create more public awareness and generate additional support for our teachers. Additionally, we hope to be able to educate more individuals within our diocese about the plight of our teachers.

We will utilize different types of media such as full page newspaper ads, yard and business signage and our “I Support the SDACT” pins. The newspaper ads will cost about $1000.00 each. These will be placed in the Citizen’s Voice and the Times Leader. If additional funds are available, we will place the ads in other newspapers as well.

Yard signs and business signs will also keep the campaign alive in the public’s mind and will be very effective in creating support. We have depleted our supply of 2000 pins and have decided to purchase 2000 more. Yard signs and pins will be available at the Union office and during planned events.

Additional funds raised will be used for a direct mail campaign which will target the parents of students attending high schools within the Diocese.

Please make your checks payable to Parents Supporting the SDACT. Be advised that this donation is not tax deductible. All donations should be sent to the following address:

Thank you for continued support for our teachers.

Most Sincerely,
