Dear Albany friends,

I need your help! I was asked to be a model for "Rock Your Style," a fashion show fundraiser for Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region, and after hearing about what this incredible nonprofit does, I set a personal fundraising goal of $1,000, which will allow 10 weeks of the program "Dancing With Our Elders" - a weekly dance instruction and movement class for senior citizens. In 2014, this class flashed-mobbed the Trinity Alliance Gala with a performance of "The Wobble."

I am hoping you will make a donation, of any amount, to my campaign, so I can achieve this goal! You can make your tax deductible donation online, using a credit card of your choice, at: https://fundraiser.processdonation.org/Fundraiser/donate.aspx?fid=35I5CH9G65.

Trinity Alliance is a local human services non-profit organization who’s mission is to empower people for a brighter future by providing services to the community that supports and promotes healthy families, adults and children. This is an organization that is dedicated to improving the neighborhood as a setting for family life, contributing to health and well-being, and promoting education and employment as a means of self-development. You can find out more at www.TrinityAllianceAlbany.org.

I thank you for your help, and look forward to strutting my stuff on the runway! Don’t worry...I’ll post lots of photos for the world to see!


Sincerely,
Jolevette Mitchell
