Dear Sally,
On behalf of everyone at Lee Jeans, thank you for the outstanding support your organization has shown for Lee National Denim Day. You and your colleagues at Schiff Hardin LLP are making a valuable contribution to raising awareness and finding a cure for breast cancer.
So far this year, the event has raised $8.4 million for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and donations are still coming in! Since 1996, more than $60 million has been raised and millions of participants have received life-saving breast health messages. We know this is something we could not accomplish without the help of companies like yours.
Your generous donation ranks Schiff Hardin LLP in the top 50 companies out of 29,000 participating in Lee National Denim Day. Every dollar helps us to reach our goal to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.
Please mark your calendar for Friday, October 6, for this year's Lee National Denim Day event! Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Lee Jeans
