Dear John,

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has made a contribution this GiveOUT Day, cheered us on via social media, or attended our Facebook Live events. We have had a monumental day because of all of your help.

We wanted to let everyone know that we are 70 donors away from reaching our goal of 300 donors. Our executive director, Vee Lamneck, has promised that if we can meet that goal by 6:00 pm, they will shave their head Live on Facebook. The rest of us on the EV team are excited to see this happen, so help make our day!

If every one of these 70 donors gives just $10, we'll have raised $10,000 this GiveOUT Day! Help us reach our goal by sharing our GiveOut Day page with friends, family, co-workers, neighbors- anyone you think would lend a hand. We're so close, but we can't do it without you.

Much appreciation,
All of us at EV

P.S. We believe strongly in investing in our community’s Black LGBTQ leaders, so we invite you to show your Pride by matching your donation to Equality Virginia by giving directly to Black-led LGBTQ organizations.
