"Thank you for recognizing that HIV continues to be a serious issue in our own community - not just a problem in some far away country. Your gift makes it possible for PATF to provide vital HIV prevention education to those most at risk of infection.

Additionally, in the face of rising fuel, food and healthcare costs, more and more people living with HIV/AIDS are turning to PATF for help with food, transportation and emergency financial assistance for medical care. Because of your support, PATF will be there to provide the kind of life-sustaining services our clients need."

Dear Mary

From the bottom of our hearts, we wish to thank you, as well as all of the staff of Riverside Design for your continued work on behalf of local nonprofits and in particular, CASA of Allegheny County. Your work, throughout Plates With Purpose™ has directly impacted our presence in the community and has provided entree' for countless new constituents to our agency.

Recently, Sephora held a silent auction to benefit CASA at their South Hills store. This auction was a great success and raised money to sustain our agency's daily operations. Even more importantly, it helped to spread the word about our mission. The manager of Sephora organized this auction and informed us that she learned about CASA through Riverside Design's website and through Plates With Purpose (tm). It is yet another example of teh positive influence your generosity has had upon our agency over the last two years.

Thank you so much for your continued patronage of CASA and your ambassordship of our mission in the greater Pittsburgh community. your compassionate work has truly had far-reaching effects. Best wishes to you and to all of the staff of Riverside Design for a beautiful holiday season.

Sincerely,

Melissa Protzek, Esq.
