APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT

A letter from James Konschnik, Acting Executive Director

August 2006

It has been said that the true test of an organization is not what they produce or how much money they generate but how they positively affect the community around them. Together, we have been through a few rough weeks but WE have persevered, without missing a beat. Now WE are ready and poised to look ahead. As we look to the future and celebrate our 11th year of unswerving years of service the community we serve we NEED YOUR HELP!

WE challenge YOU – our loyal supporters to help us to move THE CENTER FOR POSITIVE CONNECTIONS (TCPC) to be the best organization possible for the next 11 years and beyond.

As most of you know TCPC is a nationally recognized not-for-profit organization leader in the treatment of HIV and in services offerings that complement traditional medical care. To better serve the community, TCPC provides HIV prevention and health education, social and emotional support, mental health counseling, holistic health treatments for those living with HIV/AIDS in South Florida. The Center is proud to continue to serve its core population and is pleased to announce its expansion of service offerings to also include those with other compromised immune disorders and chronic illnesses.

The Center for Positive Connections (TCPC) first opened its doors in 1994 by founder, Sheri Kaplan. Since that time, TCPC has physically grown and the provision of services has increased over 500%, now servicing all populations in need. As WE enter our 11th Anniversary year, WE plan to take it to the next level and want you to come along with us.

Not unlike other nonprofit organizations, we have been significantly affected by the erosion of funds from federal, state and local grants. Some foundations, that had previously helped to support our unique services, have been forced to reduce or eliminate support. It is now more important that ever for the private sector to come forward and support our services and the surrounding community. With your commitment and support we will be able to continue providing and expanding our valuable services to the residents of South Florida who have compromised immune systems and chronic illnesses.

THE CHALLENGE IS ON! Our new campaign initiative has two main goals… (1) To increase ongoing support of private donors and (2) To increase ongoing corporate support, both for our existing as well as for our expanding programs at The Center for Positive Connections.

With that thought in mind, we are asking for your tax-deductible monthly pledge.
