SPECIAL DELIVERY

Recent letters from the world of Roots

FOR THE KIDS
On behalf of the Sick Kids Foundation, I would like to thank Roots for the kind donation, which helped make our Banana Bash a great success.

Through the support of friends like Roots and the events you support, our skilled professionals are able to focus their creativity and innovation on meeting the immediate needs of the children who come to us everyday. Because your giving is so generous, they are able to undertake important research that will yield results in years to come.

Research is integral to our mission to improve the health of children. And thanks to donors like you, our physicians and scientists are able to continue to concentrate on the development of new knowledge.

Thank you for helping us address some of the most difficult health questions facing today’s children. Thank you for helping us to enrich the services and treatments we provide to those children.

STOP GLOBAL WARMING
On behalf of The Century Foundation, I would like to thank Roots for donating the Stop Global Warming bracelets to our recent intern policy forum, Drop It Like It’s Hot: The Politics of Global Warming that took place in New York. Thank you for providing materials for our guests to take home to remind them of our discussion and the importance of global warming as a pressing issue.

Our event was very successful, with a thought-provoking conversation and more than 60 interns in attendance. TCF’s series of lunchtime panel discussions strive to inform interns about current political issues, and this was well done at our event, thanks to your help. Once again, The Century Foundation is appreciative of your generosity.
