Dear John, 

I believe in the magic of holiday miracles, and this year has truly exceeded my expectations. I am deeply inspired to be part of this year’s largest matching gift campaign. Already we are 95% of the way to our fundraising goal—and now with an additional holiday match, every dollar donated, up to $11,000, will be doubled through December 31!

Imagine the holiday joy we can create together if we reach this goal—holiday joy for women like Tammy, a mother of four who survived years in an abusive marriage. When she finally escaped, Tammy struggled to provide for her kids and reclaim her self-worth. It wasn't until she received a Live Your Dream Award that her life took a turn. With Soroptimist's help, Tammy was able to finish her education, get a good job, and make a better life for herself and her sons. These are the miracles you and I help create.  

I am delighted to share that today, Tammy Bengtson is a proud Soroptimist club member. As a monthly donor and Live Your Dream Awards chair, Tammy exemplifies the spirit of giving back. She truly is a shining example of the ripple effect of your generosity, inspiring all of us! By supporting women like Tammy, we don’t change just one life—we empower families, communities and future generations. 

John, this is the impact of your support. You've already helped make stories like Tammy's possible. As we work toward our $25,000 fundraising goal, I invite you to give, in the true spirit of the season, to help even more women transform their lives.  

Picture the joy and relief on a mother's face when she hears that her wishes for help have been answered. Imagine the pride you'll feel knowing you were the reason another woman can stand tall, despite all she's been through, and go after her dreams! 

Your donation ensures that more women like Tammy will have the opportunity to not just survive, but thrive—and pay it forward just like Tammy. 

Remember that thanks to our match, your donation up to $11,000  gets DOUBLED and goes twice as far to help women and girls!

As you celebrate with your loved ones, please consider making a gift that will provide hope, strength and joy to women around the globe. Together, we can keep making miracles happen, one dream at a time.  

With deepest gratitude, 


Dr. Gloria “Ginger” Cole
