Hi <<NAME>>,
<<Personal note>>
I want to invite you to something very special. I’ve joined the host committee for a spectacular event called Broadway Bares, which benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Broadway Bares is an incomparable evening of bodacious Broadway burlesque. I would be thrilled to have you join me on Sunday, June 21 at 9:30pm. The much-anticipated extravaganza features 200 of the sexiest and most talented dancers on Broadway. I hope you’ll come and experience this raunchy evening that combines the sexy wink of classic stripteases with heart-thumping, modern-day choreography. Take a look at these stunning highlights from last year’s performance: Broadway Bares: Come Out , Come Out Highlights
Will you join me by purchasing tickets? I’ll be in the <<WHAT SECTION>>. You can either join me there, or experience the show from elsewhere in Hammerstein.
Get your tickets at broadwaycares.org/bares930tickets. Be sure to select my name as the host committee member who invited you when you purchase tickets.
If you are unable to attend, there will be an opportunity soon to help support the event in other ways. If you are interested, I will follow up with more details.
In a moment when vital services and organizations are at risk, your support will make a lifesaving difference for so many in need, providing healthy meals, counseling, health care and housing. I hope you will join me in serving and uplifting the community at a time when it has never been more critical.
All the best,
<<YOUR NAME>>
P.S. Here are a few examples of what your support through a ticket purchase will make possible:
- One floor ticket ($150) provides 15 HIV tests
