A Simple Card, A Profound Impact – Let’s Keep Going!
Hard to believe, but the You Matter Marathon is celebrating its 10th anniversary! Who would have thought my random encounter with a woman in a grocery store would lead to a global movement, but because of YOU it has.
For a decade, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of “You Matter.” A simple phrase powerful enough to transform a day, a life, a community.
Our 10-year milestone is made possible by your unwavering support and belief in our mission. In a world that often feels fractured and overwhelming, your participation has been a beacon of hope. You’ve experienced the smiles, the tears of gratitude, the quiet moments of connection that these cards create.
And now, as we celebrate this milestone, we’re asking you to ensure the You Matter magic continues.
You Matter Marathon is a labor of love, fueled by passion and your incredible participation.
To be transparent, our 2025 budget is $30,000. I personally donate 90% of that amount. We’re relying on the generosity of individuals like you to cover the remaining 10%. Help us raise at least $3,000 to ensure we can continue sharing free cards and honoring our mission.
Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:
- A $25 donation sends free cards to 10 people. Imagine the impact of reaching just a few more individuals with this message.
- In a divided world your contribution helps us foster connection and remind everyone of their inherent worth.
- Your donation will help us celebrate our 10th anniversary by expanding our reach and continuing to build a kinder, more connected world.
We believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and connected. Help us spread this message far and wide, especially as we celebrate 10 years of kindness and connection.
Your generosity matters.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Cheryl Rice, Founder
