Fellow Trustees,

I am about to do all of you a favor.

What I am asking you to do will make you healthier, happier and richer.  According to Arthur C. Brooks, a professor of public administration at Syracuse University, “Research shows that people who give money away are happier and less stressed than those who don’t, and being happy may make people more successful.” *

I give you the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of giving… the Marymount Annual Fund.  The money raised by the Annual Fund fills the gap between tuition and the actual cost of giving each child an invaluable Marymount experience.

This is a win-win.  By giving generously to the Marymount Annual Fund, you will be supporting the wonderful school for which you have been working so hard AND you will be happier and less stressed.

Thank you so much for all that you do for Marymount.

Warm regards,

twf
