Hi Name,

You may have heard the ASA is having a giving day to support the future of statistics and data science. This is an important cause to me and I thought you might be interested in it, too. Visit ww2.amstat.org/givingday to learn more. They have great examples of what they are able to accomplish when you give.

I hope you’ll consider donating!

Thanks so much!

Dear Name,

I hope you are doing well! I’m reaching out to you because I wanted to ask you to join me in donating to the ASA today—on ASA Giving Day. The more I learn about what the ASA is doing to improve statistics and data science education in our schools, advocate for our profession, and improve the public’s understanding of what we—as statisticians—do, the more motivated I become.

You can view some examples of programs donations help support at ww2.amstat.org/givingday.

I hope you will consider joining me in making a contribution today—ASA Giving Day.

Thank you!
