| While 
                              we celebrate the opening of Bridges to Safety, we recognize that our work 
                              has just begun to prevent harm for domestic violence victims.    
                              To provide safety for domestic violence victims 
                              in St. Paul and Ramsey County, Bridges to Safety must be financially sustainable. 
                              We invite Minnesota's business, corporate, 
                              and foundation leaders, as well as every resident 
                              of the state, to partner with us to invest 
                              in the safety of battered women and their children. 
                               Together 
                              we can make domestic violence a thing of the past 
                              and allow thousands of families in our community 
                              to live in safety and peace. Please 
                              join us in supporting the operating costs of Bridges to Safety. Your 
			      tax-deductible 
                              donation will go towards the nuts and bolts expenses 
                              of running our service center, including emergency 
                              funds for victims, staff/partner training, office 
                              supplies, toys and books for the child care center, 
                              and translators for victims who do not speak English. Partner 
                              with us today to prevent harm, provide safety, 
                              and promote justice for all victims in St. Paul 
                              and Ramsey County! |
