Dear Lucas,
Happy Holidays from the Council of Urban Professionals (CUP)!
As this year comes to a close, and as we approach our 5th Anniversary as an organization, we'd like to thank you for your continued support of CUP's mission, programs and forums. Your support has been vital to our success.
CUP works every day to connect, empower and mobilize the next generation of diverse business and civic leaders. Since 2007, with your help, we have grown into a 21st century leadership development organization with over 1,000 individual members, a statewide network of 15,000 partners and 60 corporate members spanning industry sectors. As we prepare to celebrate CUP's 5th Anniversary at our Leadership Gala on April 5, 2012, we are also looking forward to our next five years and to expanding and strengthening our programs, as well as increasing our impact.
But we cannot do this work without you.
While you are thinking about your holiday giving, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to CUP. With your generosity, CUP will continue to work tirelessly on the issues that matter the most to emerging leaders of color. Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees.
