WHAT'S HAPPENING AT PLN?

Purple Line NOW Kicks Off Fall Fundraising Campaign

We are dedicating this newsletter to kick off our fall fundraising campaign! We'll resume bringing you news and Purple Line updates in the next newsletter, as well as an update on how our campaign is going. This time of year is tough on our checkbook -- our fundraising from the previous year winds down, our treasurer gets nervous, and so we reach out to our supporters to help.

Typically, we launch our fall fundraising campaign at our September forum, but this year, we were so excited to jump to our special guest, Secretary of Transportation for Maryland, Paul Wiedefeld, that we held off our appeal until today. Each year, in the fall, instead of holding a special event fundraiser, we ask each of you to consider a donation to help us continue our work. In fact, it is the only way we fundraise and the only way we keep our train moving!

A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports Purple Line NOW!

Below is our list of donors who have given in the past twelve months. We appreciate each and every donation -- and if you don't see your name on the list, we hope you will consider renewing (or giving for the first time!)

Your support will be used to continue this newsletter and to continue our education forums. We meet every month to share information and keep abreast of all things Purple Line which helps us bring the latest news to you.

You can donate easily by clicking the PURPLE button below or the link right HERE.
