**DECEMBER BULLETIN #24**

Dear Readers:

Including today, we have just 5 days left to reach our goal of $100,000 in our crucial annual fundraiser. **Tomorrow we will be releasing a very exciting new educational tool as an example of the kind of thing we can do more of if we have a substantial fighting fund. You will not be disappointed!**

Our current total is **$53,503** – which means we have a long way to go. Some would say this was an impossible task (but they told us the same about ending fluoridation!); however here is a strategy to make it possible.

I have started to line up a number of our most generous supporters to pledge that they will donate a substantial sum if we can reach $70,000 by midnight Dec 31 and I think $70,000 is doable.

So far we have raised a magnificent $7,500 in pledges.

**So now we have to raise money on two fronts.**

We need as many smaller donations as we can get to reach $70,000\. This means raising $16,497, which could be achieved by 165 donations at $100, or the equivalent.

Meanwhile, we need more of our heavy hitters to raise the total of pledges as close to $30,000 as we can get (remember we already have $7,500 pledged). We are looking for pledges of $500 and up. You will pay us nothing if we don’t reach the $70,000 mini-goal.

**Remember all donations are tax-deductible.**

The race is on! Stay tuned. Please help us reach $100,000 in our 2013 fluoridation fighting fund. Our fundraising totals will be updated regularly on our home page ([www.FluorideALERT.org](http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NvtTz02Q17lPoTvwdO7U6Y9b%2BCMa%2FMoQ&ref=foodconsumer.org) ) and in these daily bulletins.

If you would like to make a donation you can either use the donation feature on our website ([details](http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=WlEQ4ZztrtGqlDO8qVqrVI9b%2BCMa%2FMoQ&ref=foodconsumer.org)) or send a check made out to FAN to FAN, 104 Walnut Street, Binghamton, NY 13905\. **We prefer the latter for the bigger donations because it saves us a handling charge**, but email us ([paul@fluoridealert.org](mailto:paul@fluoridealert.org)) to let us know a donation is on the way. Remember every donation of $10 or more will receive a free copy of our DVD *Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation.*
