Miriam’s Promise Needs Your Help to Say “Thank You”

Calvary UMC and our members and friends have a seventh annual opportunity to be involved with the Miriam’s Promise Golf Challenge—an important fundraiser which provides this vital ministry with over twenty percent of its annual budget. During the Challenge, golfers raise funds through pledges from individuals and procurement of Hole Sponsors ($250). Many of the golfers work incredibly hard to raise thousands of dollars for the programs and services provided by
Miriam’s Promise.

We need a variety of prizes to serve as incentives, rewards and “thank yous” for their efforts allowing Miriam’s Promise to continue providing services such as counseling for young pregnant women experiencing unplanned pregnancies and helping infants and older children find permanent, loving adoptive families.

Many of our members and constituents are in a business from which contributions could come,
and each of us does business with many potential contributors. Would you please consider either providing an incentive prize or requesting a prize from a business for this important event to be held on Monday, September 25 at Old Natchez Country Club? We would appreciate a response no later than August 18 so we can include donors in print material, website and newsletter.

The help can come in the form of gift certificates or actual items such as dinner for two, hotel stays, a massage or manicure or pedicure, books, CD’s, attractions, tickets to sporting or theatrical or musical events. Items such as art, electronics, jewelry, home furnishings, auto parts or tires would also be welcomed. All contributions will be tax deductible and a donor will receive recognition and publicity before, during and after the fundraising event.

We thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. Your help is greatly needed and will be deeply appreciated. If you need more information, contact Lee Parkison, 615-662-6597 or parklee@comcast.net. If you can help, mailable prizes can be sent to Polly Irvine, Miriam’s Promise Golf Challenge, 522 Russell Street, Nashville, TN 37206 and non-mailable gifts will be picked up. Call Lee at 662-6597 to set a pick up day and time.
