Dear [Contact's Name],

I hope this note finds you well and immersed in good music. As someone who has had the pleasure of working with the Tahoe Truckee School of Music (TTSM), I want to share with you a cause that is very close to my heart.

TTSM is not just a music school; it's a cornerstone of our community, offering life-changing musical experiences to people of all ages, especially underserved children and youth. My time with TTSM has shown me the power of music to transform lives, inspire creativity, and bring people together.

This year, TTSM has set an ambitious goal to raise $130,000 through our Year End Giving Campaign. These funds are crucial for:

  • Music Education: Providing free and low-cost lessons and workshops to make music accessible to everyone.

  • Community Engagement: Organizing family-friendly music events that celebrate and unite our diverse community.

  • Staff Retention: Supporting the dedicated instructors and staff who pour their hearts into nurturing musical talent.

We are on our way with nearly $100,000 already raised, but we need your help to reach our target. Your contribution can make a significant impact, ensuring that TTSM continues to be a vibrant hub of musical activity and education.

You can see the wonderful impact we've made in the community by checking our latest impact report here: https://www.tahoemusic.net/2023-impact-report.

I am personally reaching out to friends, family, and colleagues to support this cause that means so much to me. I hope you can join me in fostering the next generation of musicians by contributing to our Year End Giving Campaign. Any amount you can give will go a long way.

Thank you for considering this heartfelt request. I am happy to chat more about why I believe in TTSM's mission and discuss any questions you might have.

Warmest regards,

[Your Name]
