Hi [Friend’s Name],
I wanted to share something close to my heart. I support a local nonprofit called Sustain Charlotte, and they’re in the middle of a summer campaign to raise $25,000 to make our city’s streets safer and more connected, especially for people who walk, bike, or ride transit.
Tragically, 35 people in Charlotte, including cyclists and pedestrians, have already died in crashes this year. Sustain Charlotte is working hard to change that, and I believe in their vision.
If you can, please consider making a one-time or monthly donation of $35 in honor of the 35 lives lost: donate now to shape the future of Charlotte.
Together, we can build a city where everyone can move safely and sustainably through their neighborhood, regardless of their zip code.
Thanks for reading and for caring about Charlotte.
[Your Name]

35 lives lost. Too many families grieving.
Charlotte is growing fast — but we can’t let that growth come at the cost of safety or equity.
I’m supporting @SustainCharlotte’s campaign to build safer, more connected streets. They’re working every day to fight for infrastructure that protects pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders.
Help them meet their $25,000 goal this summer.
Donate $35 for the 35 lives lost: https://sustaincharlotte.app.neoncrm.com/forms/2025-summer-campaign-1
Then share this with someone who loves Charlotte, too.
