Dear Friend,
Learning that your child has been diagnosed with cancer is unthinkable, yet it happens to families every day. The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation is a group of caring friends who have joined together to offer financial and emotional support to these families so the they can focus on what is most important – their child’s recovery.
We are delighted to announce the 6th Annual Beach Ball will take place on July 9, 2026 at The Rockaway Hotel. We are reaching out to you today in order to secure exciting raffle and auction prizes for this event. Theatre tickets, spa packages, sports & concerts, technology, weekend getaways and luxury leather goods are just a few examples of our most successful sellers.
Our auction prizes are critical components of our fundraising. To show our gratitude, donors are promoted on our website, all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law and all donors will receive the appropriate acknowledgement for tax purposes. The deadline for donations to The Beach Ball is July 1, 2026.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and the families and children who benefit so greatly from your generosity, I thank you for every consideration you give this request. Please don’t hesitate to email ellen@francespopefoundation.org
Sincerely,
Ellen Pope Preimesberger
President
