Subject: Let’s Support the Next Generation of Cascades Athletes!

Dear [First Name],

As a former UFV student-athlete, I know how much being part of the Cascades family means. Now, as we look toward the future, UFV student-athletes, coaches, and staff are raising funds on Cascades Giving Day, November 5th, to support the next generation of athletes—and I’m proud to join them.

This year, our goal is to raise $50,000 for UFV Athletics. These funds will directly support student-athletes on their journey, just like the support I received when I was in their shoes.

I’m asking for your support. Your donation will make a huge impact on the lives of current and future Cascades athletes, helping them succeed both in their sports and in the classroom. And when you donate during Cascades Giving Day your gift unlocks matching funds that will increase your impact.

Thank you for being part of the Cascades legacy and for continuing to support UFV Athletics. On November 5th, let's rally for the valley!
