Good morning!
Below please find a request from A Better Chance for Our Children, an
agency in Delaware that serves abused and neglected children in foster
and adoptive placements, including post placement services. They have a
specialty in special needs child victims. I have worked with this agency
for many years, training staff, foster parents and adoptive parents in both
Stewards of Children and Online Safety/Cyber-Bullying and Digital
Citizenship. They  are a Delaware agency with a focus on Delaware's
children.

This is the agency that stepped up to help us in the case of the children
left orphans by the Courthouse shooting; as you know because the children
were in witness protection in was a time intensive and very difficult
process. They were the folks we could trust in that highly confidential
situation.

This request is one that clearly requires your input and approval. I am
comfortable supporting them, although I think $5000 is a too steep. I am
comfortable recommending $2500 or $1000.

Many thanks,

Patty

Hi Patty,

I’ve been following you a great deal in the paper, etc. of late but have
not gotten in touch as I am busily winding down my tenure as Executive
Director at ABCFOC, and moving towards retirement!  It is a busy and
exciting time!

I’m writing to you now because I would like to request that the Beau Biden
Foundation provide a sponsorship for our fall fundraiser.  I have included
all the information for the our September event.  It will be on September
16, and will be different than our program last year in that it will focus
on building families.  Our program is being developed specifically for our
agency by one of our adoptive parents (adopted an older child).  We will be
focusing on adoption and foster care and portraying real family life.  It
will be a very fun evening, but it will also be an evening where people are
able to see how incredibly important it is to provide homes for our waiting
kids.

At our Board meeting the other night there was a discussion about
recruiting new sponsors.  Mariann and I thought of you and the Beau Biden
Foundation.  Your organization provides support for so many children who
have been hurt and traumatized.  So many of the children for whom we are
recruiting have been hurt and lived lives that are almost indescribable.

So, in a nutshell, I am asking for your support and for the Foundation’s
sponsorship for our fundraiser in the fall.  There is only room for one
headliner sponsor ($5000) and of course we would love for you to do that!
We could provide a great deal of publicity for all the wonderful work you
do.  Additionally, we could utilize the sponsorship to help support the
wonderful work we do!  I know you understand that.

Please get back to me and let me know what you think.  I will be anxious to
hear from you and see if you are able to be on board with us.  No matter
what you decide, I hope you will join us on September 16th.  Hope all is
continuing to go well for the important work that you are doing!

Mary Lou
