Sample Solicitation Letter to Retired Employees

<Date>

Dear <Retiree>,

As one of (COMPANY NAME’S) retirees, your past achievements and continued loyalty remain an important part of our organization. You’re already well aware of our commitment to advancing the common good in our community and our dedication to the LIVE UNITED Movement. I’m asking you again to support this year’s (COMPANY NAME) United Way campaign, which will take place from (DATE TO DATE).

United Way of Greater Union County works hard to create lasting changes by focusing on family strengthening because strong families equal a strong community. They achieve this by working on the three building blocks for a good life- a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health to keep people active at work and school. By working together, United Way and (COMPANY NAME) can help achieve results no one group can on its own. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.

United Way knows everyone has a role to play in advancing the common good by creating opportunities for a better life for all. I’m inviting you to be a part of the change right here in Union County. Please consider reading the enclosed brochure and making a commitment to LIVE UNITED by filling out the enclosed pledge form and returning it to (NAME) by (DATE).

Thank you for your support of United Way’s mission to improve lives by uniting the caring power of our community. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

Sincerely,

<Name>
