your goal by May 31. May is PWS Awareness Month!

Here’s What You Need To
Know To Raise And Collect Funds:

or e-mail to those on your list. You
may prefer to create your own letter.
Collecting Donations and Pledges

let your donors know how much weight you lost.
Donations should be
returned to YOU. Payments should be made payable to PWSA (USA).
Please make a copy of each donation,
then send the originals in batches with a letter identifying that the
donations came from you as part of your Lose-A-Thon effort to:
