Do you want to save a good sum of money on your tax bill while at the same time helping some people who are in very serious need of your help?

Keeping to tradition, Buckeye Bread Basket, a nonprofit organization, would like to assist our community this year by hosting its Annual Thanksgiving Day dinner for the needy people, providing a free thanksgiving meal to them. More than 400 people are expected to attend the dinner, both families with children, and single member families.

However, today's tough economic conditions make it difficult for Buckeye Bread Basket to meet those needs without help from people like you. We will hold our holiday fund-raising sale of greeting cards to help raise the necessary funds. The greeting cards come in boxes of ten with green envelopes and feature an original watercolor scene, created by a famous Ohio artist.

As far as gramatics and spelling go, here are my two corrections...

"both families with children, and single member families." --> "both families with children and single member families."

"fund-raising" --> fundraising

Here goes - but it's screwed up because it's been reformatted so please excuse minor errors.
P.1, L.2 - delete "some". You could also use the word "amount" rather than "sum" in line 1. L.2 - eliminate "very serious". Too obvious.
P.2,L.1 "to" to "with", L.2 eliminate "the" or, in the alternative, make it "the needy." Last line, P.2-...and singles.

Also - ditch the pitch. This is not the place for it.

I think it;s fine as it is. It carries all necessary information and the plea is heartfelt. Good luck with your fund raising.

The only thing I would question is nonprofit. I would say non-profit making organization
