Dear Friend of
RenewAmerica,
This is a follow-up message regarding an urgent
fundraising need we have at RenewAmerica. We promised an explanation by
June 1.
Recently, the URL
RenewAmerica.com became available, and it will be
offered at auction June 2 through 5. This is a URL that we have long
sought to obtain — since it would enhance the credibility, accessibility, and
influence of RenewAmerica.
The auction will be a “private one” — available
only to a limited number of bidders (including RA) who qualify by virtue of
having bid the minimum of $69 by June 1. Because of the auction format, we
felt it unwise to publicize our participation until the initial bidding was
closed. Doing otherwise could have increased the number of
competitors.
To win at auction, we estimate that we will need to
raise at least $5,000 to draw upon. Even that
amount may not ensure that we win the auction — but anything less will put us at
a clear disadvantage and likely ensure that we don’t win.
It’s vital to the future of RenewAmerica that we
obtain this easy-to-remember, highly-credible URL. It will help our
writers increase their audience and have greater influence. It will also
help us in our ongoing efforts to build and strengthen RA.
Please consider making a donation to the
“RenewAmerica.com auction fund.” The best way to
get a contribution to us in time to win the auction would be to make an
online donation at our donation page: www.renewamerica.us/donate.php
You can also mail a check — but if you do, please
e-mail us a note at donations@NOSPAMrenewamerica.us alerting
us to the amount, so we can plan for it.
Checks should be mailed to:
RenewAmerica Processing Center
P.O. Box 50502
Provo, UT 84605-0502
Please act now, if you
would like to help. We’re partway to reaching our goal — but we need not
only to meet it, but to exceed it, if we’re to have a
good chance of winning the auction. (To see how our fundraising is going,
go to www.renewamerica.us/news/090601alert.htm)
In the event that we fail to raise enough money to
outbid our competition, we will refund your donation, upon request.
Otherwise, with your gracious consent, we will use any surplus funds to help us
upgrade our server, increase our ability to stream audio and video, and improve
other aspects of our operation.
Thank you so much for your kindness and
generosity. Please help us to better help you, as we undertake to obtain
this very desirable URL.
Sincerely,
Stephen Stone
