We are respectfully requesting a donation from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund in the amount of $120,000 for the program's operating expenses. For your records, our last LETF contribution check was dated June 20, 2011 in the amount of $110,000. The increase of $10,000 reflected in this year's budget is due to the loss of several corporate sponsorships from the lagging economy. We continue to work diligently to replace these sponsors as well as engage in fundraisers such as the Women In Blue 2012 calendar which generated $6,000 to try to lessen the burden on LETF, however, this increase will be extremely helpful in DTRT being able to meet expenses. It cannot go without saying that Do The Right Thing truly appreciates your support of our program and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your consideration of this request and your continued support of Do The Right Thing and the youth of Miami. Please contact me if you have any questions or confusion pertaining to this.
