From: Laara Losier Sent: August 13, 2019 12:27 PM To:wasagabusinessassociation@gmail.com Subject: Local Business Local Love Challenge for United Way
Hello,
My name is Laara Losier and I am writing to share a new program we’ve launched at United Way Simcoe Muskoka (UWSM) called Local Businesses-Local Love. It is modeled after a fundraiser held by the owner of Harvey’s Wasaga Beach and sees proceeds donated back into the community to help tackle local issues related to poverty.
Unlike the incredible week-long promotion hosted by Harvey’s we are encouraging businesses to donate 10-15% of their daily sales on one day only(Wed Aug 28th) and would like your members to consider joining us and other local establishments in this endeavor. I have attached a document outlining the benefits and recognition for those involved. The first 3 businesses that join will be included in our pre-event press release and blog in addition to the social media recognition listed in the attached document.
I encourage you to share this with your colleagues and any other local business owners you may know if you feel it is appropriate and welcome the opportunity to discuss in more detail should you be interested.
I will plan to follow up again before August 16th to ensure you have received this information and it provides everyone with the details you require.
Sincerely, Laara Losier | Relationship Manager
