Dear Friend in the Fight Against Violence:
Gateway Battered Women’s Services is introducing an exciting campaign that is being launched to coincide with our 30th Anniversary of providing quality services in the Denver Metro Area.
 Gateway is pleased to announce its 1st Annual “100 Hearts of Hope”campaign. The campaign is simple – the goal is to identify 100 donors who will generously give $1000 to Gateway.
These donations can be from an individual, business, civic organization,church, club, or any group of caring people that want to pool resources and join us in this much-needed and important endeavor. Gateway has heard many times that our donors want to maximize their contributions to be the most effective in helping women and children who suffer from domestic violence in our community. In that regard, 100% of the dollars raised will go towards operations as no event expenses will be incurred. And, donors will receive a tax deduction for 100% of their contribution.
The campaign begins TODAY and we hope to reach our goal of $100,000 by October – which is also “National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.” Once our goal is met, we will have a modest gathering with our 100 Hearts of Hope to recognize the great accomplishment we achieved together. In addition, each donors name or company logo will be engraved on a special Hearts of Hope plaque that will be permanently displayed in Gateway’s 24 hour Emergency Crisis Shelter. Let’s start now, there is no time to spare. Everyone deserves to be safe in their home.
Please call 303-343-1856 for more information on becoming a Heart of Hope.
HOPE = CHANGE
