            Dear colleagues:  

            Here is your weekly Race for Independence fundraising tip about how to make the "ask".  Talk with someone that you do business with on a regular basis.  This could be someone like the manager at your favorite restaurant, your barber or hair dresser, or someone who has provided professional services to you recently. 

            Think about it.  If you have paid a bill for professional services or spent money at a particular place of business, you are in a good position to make the "ask."  These people are likely to help you because you have spent money with them. 

            Over the weekend, think of five potential targets and then make the "ask".  You can do this in person and hand them a Race for Independence solicitation card.  Or you can send an email or letter. 

            But whatever you do, please do something.  Some of us have raised hundreds of dollars within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, and you can too.  How did we do it?  We made the "ask." 

            So, come on:  Let's race!
