* Your Message:	I am sending this email to ask you to consider donating to a very special project as a donor or Ambassador Club member. The City of Children Orphanage is a 12 building 33,000 square foot facility designed to serve 120 abandoned and abused children in Matamoros Mexico. At present, there are 6 buildings completed with the intent of opening their doors in May 2009, and then building the additional 6 buildings from that point on. John Shinsky, a former orphan, Academic All-American College Football player and recent cancer survivor along with his wife Cindy are the founders of the orphanage. John, Joe DeLamielleure, an NFL Football Hall of Fame member who played for the Buffalo Bills and the Cleveland Browns, and Eljay Bowron, Former Director of the Secret Service for the United States are riding their bikes 2000 miles from the football stadium at Michigan State University to Matamoros Mexico, as a fundraiser for this project. I hope you will consider joining the Ambassador’s Club and/or making a per mile or personal pledge to the bike ride fundraiser, along with contacting others to inform them of this very special cause. Please visit the orphanage website at www.shinskyorphanage.com which will provide you with more detailed information about the project. It is not a practice of mine to contact family and friends to ask that they make a donation to a specific cause. However, in this case, it is a very worthwhile project designed to help children in desperate need. In addition, 100% of the donations made to this cause go directly to the project, without any administrative costs involved. Please visit the bike ride fundraiser website at www.orphanagefundraiser.com to read more about the details of the ride. Donations to the orphanage can be made online at either of the websites, or you can send a donation to The Capital Region Community Foundation (CRCF) at 6035 Executive Drive, Suite 104, Lansing, MI 48911 Phone: 517.272.2870. Tax free contributions can be made to: The City of Children Orphanage. CRCF is tax exempt (501(c)(3) for charitable gift purposes. Thank you for your consideration of supporting this very worthwhile cause.
