1 Welcome to the Toledo Zoo Dart Frog Dash for joining us in the fight to save our planet! Why your SUPPORT MATTERS: We are currently in the midst of the planet s sixth mass extinction in the last half billion years. We are experiencing the worst species die-offs since the loss of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Scientists estimate literally dozens of species are going extinct each day. What the Zoo is doing TO WIN THE FIGHT: Actively raising thousands of pollinators in our greenhouses and releasing them back into the wild. Actively planting native prairies throughout the region to increase biodiversity and filter rain water runoff. Working in partnership with top researchers and scientists here locally and around the globe to save critically endangered species, including Tasmanian devils, orangutans, polar bears, hellbenders and more! Providing educational programming to families, school groups and the general public on simple changes they can make to have a direct impact on conservation efforts. 1

Many people know the Toledo Zoo for all the wonderful experiences it provides families, but many do not realize the tremendous resource it is in the community, the economic impact it has on the region, or all of the conservation and outreach programs the Zoo offers. <Company Name> recognizes the value the Zoo has in our area and the impact it is having locally and globally. We also value the health and wellbeing of each of our employees and their families. The Dart Frog Dash is a 5K run, but the course can be walked as well. We would like to encourage our employees to use this event to supplement a program you already use. Because we value the Zoo and we are sincerely interested in each employee s health, we have made this event a priority for the company. In an effort to reach our fundraising goal of <Company Goal>, I am asking that all employees participate in our fundraising efforts. You have many options for participation, such as: Join as a Team Co-Captain and helping recruit a minimum of 10 people to our team Join as a team member Make a personal donation We need motivated, dedicated employees to help make this event a success.

8 SAMPLE LETTERS SAMPLE LETTER: Team Member Letter Requesting Support Dear <Contact>, I am participating in the 2017 Toledo Zoo Medical Mutual Dart Frog Dash. Most everyone knows what a great zoo we have here in Toledo, even named the #1 Zoo in the country by USA Today, but many aren t aware of the Zoo s great education and conservation initiatives. The butterflies and the bees need help. Also, the birds, moths, wasps, beetles and bats. Without our effort, increasing numbers of species that promote the growth of our food supply face extinction. Pollinators contribute to the growth of fruit, vegetables and many nuts, as well as flowering plants. Many pollinator species are currently threatened with extinction. Did you know that the Toledo Zoo actively raises pollinators in their greenhouses and releases thousands each year, back into the wild? Did you know the Toledo Zoo actively plants native prairies throughout our region, providing the habitat these pollinators need to survive and thrive? I am supporting the Toledo Zoo by raising funds for the Dart Frog Dash. I am doing this because I believe in this amazing local institution and know that while the battle to save our planet is a big one, I can make a difference. Please join me in supporting the Toledo Zoo in their conservation initiatives! Visit my online fundraising page at: <insert link>. Or complete the information on the next page and return it to me. for your support! Together we can make a difference! Sincerely, <Insert Your Name> 8
