Hi [Name],

As Brown’s fiscal year draws to a close on June 30, I’ve been thinking a lot about what Brown means to me and why I choose to volunteer with the Annual Fund. My days on campus shaped how I see the world, and supporting Brown is my way of ensuring that transformational education for the next generation. I hope you’ll join me with a gift of your own. 

Especially this year, I’m proud to give through the Annual Fund because these dollars go directly to the people who make Brown so special. If you haven’t made your gift yet, I hope you’ll join me in supporting the area at Brown that matters most to you before the June 30 deadline.

Please join me in making your fiscal year-end gift.

Thank you for being a part of this community.
