Hey, friend – it's Michael Bennet. Sorry to bother you on a busy night, but I'll keep it quick.

My team's working late to help me close the last 7% gap on my $20,000 mid-month goal by 11:59 p.m. ET tonight – but my finance director just told me that at the rate gifts are coming in, there's no shot we'll make it in time.

I'm not the kind of guy who gives up that easily, though.

Instead, I'm reaching out to you in a last-ditch effort because she also mentioned that if at least 161 grassroots supporters read this note and chip in $5 by midnight, it'd be just enough to close the gap.

So while you're still up, can I please count on you to make your first gift of $5, or anything you can spare now to get us back on track?

If so, you can use this link to donate. I made it just for you: secure.actblue.com/donate/bfg-email-fr-2025/[email protected]

Thanks for your help tonight, and for all you do – take care,

Michael
