>> 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
>> ·         Website home page (see vehicle donation materials page)
>> ·         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.
>> 
>> Thanks for helping us steer this project down the road to success!
