Mr. Elroy T. Elk

Chicago, IL 60614

Dear Elroy:

The Elks National Foundation has upheld its commitment to helping Elks build

stronger communities for nearly 80 years. Our extraordinary donors help students

realize their dreams of attending college; provide kids with constructive youth activities;

and help the Elks fulfill their pledge to our nation’s veterans.

The possibilities are endless, and your help ensures that we can forever build a

better tomorrow through our programs. ENF-funded programs serve our community and

Elks communities everywhere.

In the next decade, 6 million qualified students may not go to college because of

the immense cost of higher education.

The amount of after-school programs available today meets only half the demand

among parents with children attending elementary and middle school.

As of September 2010, approximately 2 million World War II veterans are alive

and in potential need of care.

These statistics prove we can’t ignore the children, families and veterans who need

our help. The Foundation’s endowment fund provides only a strong base for our

philanthropic outreach. Thanks to donors like you growing this base, the Foundation

becomes capable of doing more; we strive to accomplish new heights of charity.

Please consider donating to the ENF so we can make a difference in our

community. Your contributions will make a difference today and in the future. Thank you

for your support.

Sincerely,

ENF Chairperson

BPO Elks Lodge <No.>
