[blindkid] NFB vehicle donation program

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Everyone,

The NFB has launched an exciting new fundraising 
program, Vehicle Donations Take the Blind 
Further!  I hope you will all help make this 
program succeed by letting everyone know about 
it.  We will receive an average of $500 per 
donated vehicle!  Please see the information 
below and the attached flyers for details.

>Dear Vehicle Donation “Drivers,”
>
>Welcome to the team that is going to drive 
>people to donate their vehicles to the National 
>Federation of the Blind!  As I have been 
>promising you, here is the vehicle donation 
>material website: 
><https://nfb.org/vehicle-donation-materials>https://nfb.org/vehicle-donation-materials. 
>The first item on this website gives you many 
>ideas where we can share this new program with 
>potential donors.  Remember, our main job is to 
>let the public know that we now have a vehicle 
>donation program. In order to help you with 
>this, the website enables you to print flyers, 
>mail inserts, press releases, and add HTML or a 
>link to the donation page to your state and 
>local chapter websites. You can also order from 
>me stickers and color flyers.  If you come up 
>with new ideas, I will share them with our team. 
>If you need additional materials to be 
>developed, please let me know.  Periodically, I 
>will be highlighting an activity for you to 
>focus on. Please feel free to get your local 
>chapters and members to be drivers who can also carry our message.
>
>Remember, we get an average of $500 for each 
>vehicle donated. All we need to do is get donors 
>to call 1-855-659-9314 or visit 
><http://www.carshelpingtheblind.org>www.carshelpingtheblind.org. 
>Together, we can raise funds that can help “take the blind further!”
>
>I just wanted to let you know we added some 
>possible radio spots to our vehicle donation 
>material page: 
><https://nfb.org/vehicle-donation-materials>https://nfb.org/vehicle-donation-materials. 
>This month it would be good if we could 
>emphasize in our own materials this new vehicle donation program.
>
>All forms of your communications should include 
>that we accept vehicle donations.
>Here are some ideas:
>·         Articles in our state newsletters
>·         Informational publications
>·         Email tags
>·         Voice mail tags
>·         Mailing stuffers

>·         Business cards-on back let them know you accept vehicle donations
>·         Thank you letters-Thank you letters 
>for other donations with a tagline at the bottom 
>for our vehicle donation program
>·         Every form of communication you send out
>·         Flyers at all our events
>·         Facebook and other social media
>
>Please let me know if you have any problems, 
>need additional materials, but most of all, let 
>me know about your successes.  We already have 
>cars donated from Maryland, New York, 
>Mississippi, Massachusetts, California, Louisiana, and Virginia.
