Pictures from AIDS Walk NY! (Part 1)

Hello MRA Supporter!

This coming Sunday (May 16th, 2010), MRA welcomes you to join us in the AIDS Walk NY Campaign taking place in Central Park. AIDS Walk NY Campaign is geared toward fighting, embracing new allies, remembering loved ones lost, and working to realize a future without AIDS. Besides raising awareness and increasing solidarity with the millions affected with HIV/AIDS, the event also raises money to support people infected with HIV/AIDS in NYC and the tri-state area.

Last year alone, 45,000 people participated to raise over $5.6 million! This year, MRA intends to take part in this benevolent campaign in unity AIDS Walk NY while also sounding the trumpet on behalf of our beneficiaries in Sub Sahara Africa, including Kenya. So come out and walk with us and let us increase the awareness that AIDS still claims millions of lives and together we can do something! After all, IT WILL BE AN AWESOME TIME! Various entertainers including Jai Rodriguez, Hal Sparks, and Leon & the Peoples will be there to make this meaningful event even more memorable!

For those of you who can't make it to the event but still would like to be a part of the worthy cause, MAKE A ‘LOUD’ STATEMENT on MRA’s FaceBook profile (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Medical-Relief-Alliance/128434261040) and encourage your network to either participate or make a statement as well!

THREE MORE WEEKS TO GO!

We have approximately three more weeks to go for our fundraising event. EXCITING! To make it more exciting we have some good news for you. We raised another $25 last week! But sadly, we are still behind a week in terms of our fundraising campaign. However, you could still change it.. yes YOU. Let the word spread. Tell your friends and family about the event. Your donations will help us to buy goats for Kenyan families. As mentioned many times before, you have nothing to lose and it's all for a good cause.
To fill up our chart over here, all we need is FOUR more donations of $25. Please help us.

MRA GOAT HOPE CAMPAIGN

Medical Relief Alliance is currently fundraising for our Goat Hope Program. If five people donate $25 we will buy a dairy goat which costs $125 for a family living with HIV/AIDS in rural Kenya. The goat will be used to improve the family’s nutrition from the milk and supplement their income through the sale of surplus milk.

Ultimately, in 2010 MRA wants to purchase 100 goats for 25 families that represent almost 400 children, women and men affected with HIV/AIDS across rural Kenya. This means that each family will get 4 goats and have the ability to significantly improve their nutrition and income by almost 130% in the first year! To date MRA supporters have raised enough funds to purchase 40 goats. We still have to buy 60 goats. You and four of your friends or family can make this happen by pulling your $25 together. Log on to www.mra-africa.org and donate securely. Your gift will go a long way in changing, and perhaps saving someone’s life.

WELCOME BACK!

WELCOME BACK everybody! As usual, we have some good news for you! And some bad news too. The good news is we have collected one week of our target, which means one more red bar! The bad news, however, is by this time we should have had SIX red bars instead of FIVE. WHAT happened!?

We therefore ask you to please please please help us meet our target. We have about FOUR weeks to our event. We need to make our chart ALL red by then. Please help us. Remember, IT IS ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE. Your donation will help us buy goats for Kenyan families, who can use the goat's milk for their families, PLUS the surplus can be sold. How good can that be?

Remember four weeks and five more bars. YOU can make this happen.

WEEK THREE

Hello everybody! This week we are here with some exciting news. Not only did we reach our target for the week, but we have actually surpassed it! Isn’t that great? The chart is just getting better and better.

Thank you very much for your support. We couldn’t appreciate enough. Let’s get together and make this chart complete. Tell your friends and family about our event. The more we raise, the better it is. Remember, it’s all for a good cause.

We will come back next week with more red bars. It could only happen if you help us. Please do!

We made it to WEEK TWO!!

Welcome back! It's been another week of our campaign, and we have done it again! We told you we will get there! Thanks for all your help.

Please support our effort, and you will not be disappointed, we promise. Remember, it’s only $25 per week. That’s all we ask for.

Once again, thank you all and let the word spread!
