Carson Pirie Scott Community Day
Saturday, November 18, 2000

Carson Pirie Scott has invited the Cancer Research Foundation, along with public and private schools and other non-profit organizations, to participate in a day of fun and savings.

If you will send us $5.00, along with your name and address in the enclosed envelope, we will mail you a ticket packet. On November 18 , you can use the coupons in your ticket packet to save money on purchases and to enter a drawing for a vacation.

We will use your $5.00 contribution to fund
cancer research projects in Chicago.

Special Occasion and Memorial Acknowledgement

Gifts honoring the memory of someone dear who has died, or gifts in celebration of birthdays, anniversaries, a new home, a new baby or many other special occasions arrive at the Cancer Research Foundation daily.

This represents a current philanthropic trend in gift giving. Caring individuals and companies are making donations to CRF in someone's name, in lieu of client or staff gifts. It's truly a way to demonstrate that it is better to give than to receive.

Now it's even easier to give: In addition to personal checks and cash, you can charge your gift to VISA, MasterCard or American Express - by mail, by phoning our office, or online. Every contribution will receive a timely, personalized acknowledgement from CRF.

For further information, contact the Cancer Research Foundation at (312) 630-0055 or dial our website www.cancerrearchfdn.org.
