    Hi [recipient's name],


    Today is EckerdGives, a one day effort to make an even bigger difference in the lives of current and future Eckerd students. Last year we were able to unlock $450,000 with 1,200 donors; this year we have our sights set even higher with a goal of 1,500 donors! Trustee John Saunders '71 has challenged ALL alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends: If 1,500 individuals make a gift of any size TODAY, he has generously agreed to give Eckerd $150,000! Your gift of any size can make a BIG impact! Join me in being one of the 1,500 today by visiting the link below. Let's ensure that the Eckerd you and I know and love will stay available to students for years and continue to thrive.
