Get Ready to hear from your 2013 Westchester Honored Heroes:

Josh Goodman and Josh Silverman! 

These two high schoolers have joined forces this year to form their super-team, iCure. So far, they have raised more than $23,000 and are going to WOW us at the walk.

FUNDRAISING TIP/MATCHING GIFTS:
Have you been matched? 

Matching-gifts are an easy way to significantly increase the impact of your contributions. Many companies around the country donate funds to match gifts made by their employees to non-profit organizations. A dollar-for-dollar match is common, and some companies will even contribute up to two or three dollars for each dollar an employee gives.  Some even match gifts made by retirees and spouses!

So what are you waiting for? Ask your company today if it offers a matching-gift program, and request a matching-gift form. Send us the completed and signed form via mail, email or fax and we will do the rest.
