Dear [Recipient's Name],

Will you join me in making an impact in the lives of individuals overcoming substance use disorder? As a supporter of Trini Foundation, we are running our biggest fundraiser of the year this September for National Recovery Month. We would be honored if you would make a donation to support Trini's yoga scholarship program.

LINK TO DONATE TO TRINI FOUNDATION

We believe in the transformative power of Ashtanga Yoga to help support individuals in recovery. Our program provides monthly Ashtanga yoga scholarships to those with substance use disorder, empowering them to maintain their recovery. We also provide free on-site classes in treatment center facilities nationwide to share tools for recovery and healing. 

Together, we can partner to create a positive and lasting impact on the lives of individuals struggling with substance use disorder. Thank you for considering the invitation. Would you be open to making a donation to Trini for National Recovery Month?

Thank you for your support!
