We have welcomed you to our early entry Charity "Sneak Preview" for some time now.  But did you know that 100% of this money goes directly to our tax deductible 501C3 Cancer Nursing Endowment through the UNM Foundation? Since August of 2009, we have raised over $30,000.00 for this endowment.  You have helped us accomplish this.  Our goal is to fully fund this endowment at $75,000.00 by the year 2012.  This will allow for the training and licensing of two new oncology nurses each year for perpetuity. We want to offer you an opportunity to help us reach our goal.

This year we are extending a special invitation to our regular early entry goers a onetime only "Friends for Life" package.  For a onetime tax-deductible donation to our Cancer Nursing Endowment of $750.00 per person or $1000.00 per couple or business team, these Friends will receive lifetime early entry access to the show at the advanced hour of 11:00 a.m. on Friday; and, of course, full access to all regularly scheduled activities at the Great Southwestern at no additional charge ever.  With this donation you avoid the wait and paying to get in at 2:00 in the afternoon, giving you the freedom to shop three full hours earlier than the rest of the Sneak Preview crowd each and every year.  You will also know that from this year forward, your donation will have made a significant contribution to the training of oncology nurses at UNM Hospital for eternity!  Just think of how many people's lives will be touched by your contribution.

We would be proud to have you as a "Friend for Life" Please make the commitment today and send your check made payable to: The UNM Foundation (memo-Nurse Oncology) along with the names you would like to have appear on your badges and mail it c/o The Great Southwestern Antique Show 4000 Central SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 or call me and we can discuss your contribution and arrange for your "Friends for Life" ID Badge.  My phone number is 505/228-8115.

Yours,

Terry Schurmeier
