Help to Honor Dr. King

Let’s not forget the dream of Dr. King. He dreamed of a better life for all of us. Today we have a Blackman running for President; we had Thurgood Marshal, a black Supreme Court Justice, many black elected officials and blacksinbusiness! One could argue much of this would not have taken place without the sacrifice and determination of Dr. King.
I was asked to contribute to a fund needed to honor Dr.King and his life. This tribute is something the entire black community can be proud of. The suggested donation is 44 dollars and the cause is worthy. I am tight with a buck but could not so no to a man who allowed us to hope for a better life. Thank you Dr. King. I have pasted the information the donation for this tribute below. Do what you can.

Dear Supporter,
I want to thank everyone who has helped us make progress toward our August goal of $50,000, having raised just over $47,000 this month. We are almost there, so I’ll say it again:
Will you help today by making a special August contribution of $44 — just $1 for each year since the March on Washington?
Today marks the 44th anniversary of Dr. King’s March on Washington and his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. The Foundation is using this month – and today in particular – as the focal point for our fundraising campaign. As you may remember, we need to raise $100 million. We’ve already raised $82 million, but we still have $18 million that we need to raise in order to complete the Memorial on time. And, I only have three days to raise the money to meet our monthly goal.
I’ve already heard from hundreds of supporters this month from across the country. Now I’m counting on those who haven’t responded yet.
, I’m relying on you.
Our online supporters like you are a critical part of reaching our August goal of $50,000. So I really need to hear from each and every one of you.
Will you help today?
Please make a secure online donation now of $44, $88, $220, $440, or any amount to help us meet our August goal and remember Dr. King.
Have a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend. Thank you for continued support.
Sincerely,

Harry E. Johnson, Sr.
President & CEO
P.S. Please see the sidebar for the special commemorative shovel we’re offering for everyone who gives $44 or more in response to this special offer. I’m really counting on my best supporters to help us reach our $50,000 August online fundraising goal.
