Shop for a Cause

September, 2008

Beloved Family,

I am sooo…excited! Recently, Entering the Holy of Holies, An Institute of Learning and Healing, Inc, (ETHOH) registered to participate in a fundraiser incentive sponsored by Macy’s called, “Shop For A Cause.”

Shop for a Cause is a one-day shopping event that gives back to the community through support of local non-profit organizations like ours (ETHOH)! On Saturday, September 20, 2008, you will have the opportunity to support ETHOH while participating in a unique shopping experience which will include discounts, entertainment, special events and the opportunity to win thousands of dollar worth of prizes.

The way Shop For A Cause works is that we (ETHOH) sell $5.00 tickets worth 20% discounts off many items in the store and get to keep all of the money from the tickets that we sell. It is simple. The more tickets we sell, the more money we make! The $5.00 ticket that you purchase from us is good on many items, even those that have already been reduced! Additiona1ly, if you open a Macy’s charge account on September 20th, you receive 40% off when you shop using a Macy’s credit card. That’s 20% more than usual!

So, I am asking all of our family and friends to support us in this great effort to raise a minimum of $5,000 to assist us in beginning our Building Fund! You are welcome to purchase as many tickets as you like but I am asking that you only send in $5.00 to help us take our next steps. We will then send you your ticket(s) via the mail or you can stop by my traditional West African Dance Class any Monday or Wednesday evening before 8:00pm and pick-up your ticket(s). Even if you don’t choose to shop at Macy’s but would like to support this great effort, you are welcome to purchase your ticket(s) on line via our paypal account (service fees apply) :

ETHOH
PO Box 230144
Brooklyn, NY 10023

There are a few guidelines: Because this is a nationwide event that takes place simultaneously around the country, the Shop For A Cause tickets that we sell can only be used at the Macy’s Herald Square location on W. 34th Street in New York City, where we are registered. Also, you will not receive the 20% discount on every item sold in the store.

The last day to purchase a ticket from ETHOH is Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Be sure to not only come and shop on September 20th but also look for us dancing traditional West African Dance in Macy’s! (Details to follow)

Thank you all in advance for participating in this exciting new adventure for ETHOH. Your many efforts to support our cause are already greatly appreciated.

With All of My Heart,
