Annual Appeal

CFES.org > Annual Appeal

October 2011

Dear Friends...

The past year has been marked by creative initiatives, meaningful community leadership, and partnership building. Over 1000 grants representing $3.5 million were distributed to improve the quality of life in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties. Just consider some of the important work our grants support:

supplemental education programs for at-risk youth
utility assistance for families in financial crisis
help for citizens dealing with cancer
assistance for senior citizens facing health challenges
improved housing for families in need
prevention of youth suicide
preservation of historic landmarks
college scholarships for students in need of financial aid

All of this was made possible through the generosity of our donors like you.

To continue this essential help to your neighbors, we need your gift. You may donate online at www.cfes.org.

Everything the Foundation does is on behalf of generous people like you. This Annual Appeal is our only fundraising efford to directly support the work of the Foundation.

Thank you for your support of the work of the Foundation.

Sincerely,

James Almand Spicer Bell

Chairman of the Board President
