To secure the future for those who create it

Thank you so much for your organization's donation to the Aging services Foundation of Boulder county in memory of Hartley Alley.  Because no goods or services were provided in return for this contribution, the full amount of your gift is deductible.  Please retain this letter as the reeipt for your tax records.

We have designated your donation for the Respite Care Volunteer Program, one of the programs funded by the foundation, as we believe that is what Mr. Alley would have wanted.  Last year, volunteers with the respite program provided friendship and support to more than 100 older adults and teir family caregivers, and we know that there are many others who could benefit from the program's service.  Your thoughtful donation will help us reach them.

We extend our sympathy to you on the loss of Mr. Alley.  He was a very special man, and we appreciate your gift in his hame.

Sincerely,

Emily Cooper
Respite Services Coordinator
