| Dear ,
Thank you for your generous support of Poynter in 2025! As 2026 begins, we look forward to sharing the impact your contribution will make in advancing Poynter's mission.
Additionally, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all who sponsored and attended our events across the country this year. It was wonderful to host you in Boulder, New York City, St. Petersburg, Washington, D.C., Kansas City, and Tampa at our annual Bowtie Ball. We are deeply grateful for your engagement and partnership. Your presence and commitment strengthen our work, and we are honored to stay connected with you.
We wish you and yours a peaceful winter season and look forward to hosting you again early in the new year!

Poynter could not accomplish our critical mission without supporters and strong community partners. Wonderland Floral Art & Gift Loft of St. Petersburg has partnered with Poynter for eleven years, providing beautiful floral arrangements for the annual Bowtie Ball. |

| We are grateful to Wonderland, a family-owned business based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Cassie Osterloth, owner and chief designer, is the creative force behind the brand. We want to recognize the creativity and generosity of Cassie and her husband, Tom, who share their time, talent, and spectacular blooms with us. |
