To Whom It May Concern:

We are requesting your assistance in helping to raise resources (monetary and other donations) for the gulf coast victims involved in the Katrina Hurricane. As you may know thousands have been displaced for several days with virtually nothing due to the deadly Katrina Hurricane that struck last week. The Mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana says thousands maybe dead in the city alone. Let’s help the folks we can by donating.

G.A.ME, Inc. will be sponsoring a drive from Connecticut passing through New Jersey and New York onward to the gulf coast where victims are. One to two trucks will be traveling to the gulf coast to drop-off all donations. A possible reason you should donate to G.A.ME, Inc. and other community organizations going directly to the gulf coast, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas is none of the donations go towards our salaries and we have a likeness and a love for the people who are suffering on the ground. This delay in resources shouldn’t have happened.

Donations towards Katrina victims will secure the first 100 donors a free ticket to the upcoming Black Panther Party Commemoration/Annual G.A.ME Benefit Concert featuring artists D-Block & Dipset (NYC) 10/7/05. Tickets are not on sale. 

Here is a list of acceptable donations:

Monetary donations towards trucks & gas – Canned Food - Clothing including shoes and socks – Water (bottled) – Diapers – Baby wipes – Food & baby food – Toothpaste – Toothbrushes – Blankets – Air mattresses & sheets – Children's books – Gas gift cards
