Dear Friends and Family,
On Friday, March 15th, I will be shaving my head to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures. This is my fourth and final year participating in the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser at St. Rita High School. This year's deadline crept up on me so here I am at the last minute asking you for your generous donation again this year. You can donate now through next week even though the event is scheduled for Friday March 15th. I would like to thank all of you for your past support of my fundraising efforts and let you know that with your donations, I have raised nearly $5000 in the past 3 years.
On January 7th, 2011 my fellow classmate John McNicholas died of an inoperable brain tumor. Since then I have dedicated this fundraising project in his honor. John's parents founded the John McNicholas Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation to help support other patients and families fight cancer and find cures.
I have surpassed my goal every year so far because of your generous support of my efforts. In addition, I am grateful to my father, Greg, who has joined me the past 3 years and has helped me go beyond my goals by reaching out to his business associates. he plans to join me again this Friday at St. Rita as a "Shavee". Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. I am really asking you to help these kids with your donation.
Please help me one last time in raising money for St. Baldrick's. Remember any amount small or large will be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Peter Cozzi
