> I wanted to send you all a quick reminder that the ‘75 Cars for our 75th Anniversary’ campaign officially started yesterday (please see below for the pre-launch email that was sent out at the beginning of the month). As I mentioned at the Presidents and Treasurers meeting last week, we are aiming to have vehicle donation coordinators for each affiliate. If you have recruited a coordinator, please send me their contact details.
> 
> And again, if there is anything that I can do to help with your vehicle donation efforts, please let me know!

> Our Vehicle Donation program continues to grow with the help of the National Federation of the Blind affiliates.  Since 2013, 500 vehicles have been donated contributing over $188,000 to the national treasury. As we prepare for our milestone 75th Anniversary National Convention, our mission is to increase the public’s awareness of this program. On July 13th, we will launch a campaign titled '75 Cars for our 75th', with the aim of receiving 75 vehicle donations over 75 days; we need to work together to achieve this goal.
> 
> How affiliates can help reach the goal:
> 
> ·         Spread the word to your networks—word of mouth is our number one donation source!
> ·         Send a message promoting the vehicle donation program to your affiliate email list—ask your list members to share it with their contacts through email and social media.
> ·         Add a message on your affiliate website and regularly post promotional messages through your social media presence.
> ·         Ask your affiliate and chapter board members to add a vehicle donation promotional tagline to email signatures.
> ·         Distribute flyers at chapter meetings, through Lions Clubs and other civic organizations, and at area events.
> ·         Recruit a vehicle donation coordinator in your affiliate to promote, manage, and evaluate your ongoing efforts.
> ·         Send our Vehicle Donation PSAs to your local radio station—now available in both English and Spanish!
> 
> You will find flyers, PSA recordings, and more at the National Federation of the Blind Vehicle Donation webpage. If you have questions or require promotional flyers, please contact our vehicle donation coordinator, Alice Kallaugher, by email at akallaugher at nfb.org or by phone at 410-659-9314 ext. 2282. In addition, make sure to send Alice the contact details of your affiliate's vehicle donation coordinator. You will be discussing this more at the President and Treasurers Seminar at National Convention, Monday, July 6, from 6-7:30pm in Salon 10.

> Vehicle donations are an important source of funding the National Federation of the Blind programs; with these funds we continue to raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Thank you for all of your efforts!
