Dear Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition Supporter:

 

December is the time when we reflect upon our lives over the past year. We reflect upon the people whom we have come in contact with, the events that have taken place and the experiences that have touched our heart. It is also a time when we look toward our future in the upcoming New Year.

 

With an even greater need to provide support for families during these most uncertain and stressful times, in 2010 the Coalition will continue to take a proactive approach and incorporate proven prevention strategies targeting Birmingham and Bloomfield youth and families by:

 

·         Providing substance-free activities and proven leadership development and training for youth

·         Educating the community about substance abuse issues

·         Collecting and interpreting data for decision making

·         Developing and implementing a comprehensive, research-based prevention effort

 

Because of all the funding cuts, your financial support is needed even more to help the Coalition fulfill its mission to raise awareness and mobilize the entire community to prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by our youth. And, we truly appreciate any financial support you are able to give. You may click on the donate button at the top of the homepage or mail your contribution to: 1525 Covington Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48301. And, your contribution is tax deductible because the Coalition is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make the Birmingham and Bloomfield communities a positive and healthy place to live, work, worship, and play.  And, may you and your family have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday season!

Sincerely,

 

Carol Mastroianni                                                           Ingrid Day
Executive Director                                                          President, Board of Directors
