We leave a section in here for you to fill in to tell them your story of nurturing touch and how it has impacted your life. Take the extra few minutes to add personalization to the email...it makes all the difference!
Hello (name),
I hope this letter finds you well. ( a few personal touches about them) I'm reaching out to you today as a supporter of Infant Massage USA. I have found my work with Infant Massage USA very meaningful and I am passionate about sharing the benefits of nurturing touch with you. As a friend of mine, I know you are also interested in being a champion of early positive relationships.
During our year-end Season of Nurturing, we emphasize the importance of touch and how we all can be a part of creating nurturing touch and communication in our communities. We need your support to continue this important work..

Halfway Email
Next, we are inspiring your friends and family to donate by a halfway email. This will let them know you are close to your goal and need their help. I would send this out about a week before the campaign ends if you haven’t reached your goal yet. If you reach your halfway point sooner send it out then.
Hello (name),
I’m so grateful for your support as I raise funds for Infant Massage USA. With your donations I can now say I am halfway to my goal! Can I ask you a personal favor (name)? Can you please skip a cup of coffee this week and make a donation to this amazing cause instead?
Let me tell you about the impact Infant Massage USA is having around the country . . . 20,000 families have been educated in infant massage! Research has shown many benefits of infant massage and parent education programs as well as the positive impact of nurturing touch and communication on bonding, attachment and development.
Each infant massage is providing a necessary ingredient to the infant – touch! This connection doesn’t stop with just the massage because the effect is lifelong between the parents and child.
Thank you for changing the world we live in! With your donation you can help me reach all of my goals! Please donate today!
Thank you for celebrating families today and every day,
Your Name
