John, Patrick here, Governor Wes Moore’s finance director.

As Wes’s finance director, my job is to ensure the campaign is on pace to reach our fundraising goals and have the funds that we need to sustain our work even in the off-cycle years.

Today, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to Wes. But before I do, let me tell you why our monthly goals are so important.

Every donation goes a long way to supporting Wes’s work, and they add up quickly.

Setting monthly goals and tracking our progress allows us to better understand where we are and prepare our budget. The more fundraising we can bring in over the month, the more it allows us to plan events and share Wes’s vision for MD far and wide.

That’s why for July, we’re going to set an ambitious goal of raising $25,000 by July 31. As one of our most active supporters, I have to ask: Can you make your first contribution right now? Every donation is critical for our team.

Thank you,

Patrick
