1. Dear Team WiE!
Only a few weeks left until NYC WiE's Operation Backpack contribution deadline on Sunday,
August 10th! We are very proud to have raised 41% of our $3,000 goal (we're at 1228.49
including donations made through our WiE Family & Friends Night ticket purchases), and we
ask for your giving that directly benefits school children living in NYC homeless shelters. Please
join the NYC WiE Board and generous WiE Members/Contributors in supplying school kids
with new backpacks filled with essential school supplies for the 2014-2015 school year.

We would appreciate your contributions soon, as there has been an enthusiastic response,
by Sunday, August 10th. In the 3 weeks after the contribution deadline, we will be helping to
assemble the actual backpacks. Details on that will be provided shortly.
WiE NYC, let's rock Operation Backpack!
