Dear *|firstName|*,

It's with immense pride and admiration that we celebrate your remarkable accomplishment – you've crossed the monumental $20,000 fundraising milestone for Chefs Cycle 2025! Your dedication and unwavering commitment have come together like pieces of a puzzle, creating a masterpiece of change.

In every step you've taken, in every dollar you've raised, there's a symphony of teamwork, determination, and a steadfast focus on our mission. Your efforts are a testament to the power of unity and the strength of a shared purpose.

As you've reached this incredible milestone, let's pause to reflect on the impact that $20,000 can bring. This sum is more than just a number – it's a lifeline for children across America. It's a promise that echoes the belief:

"There is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens - every day, in every community."

According to the latest estimates, as many as 14 million children in the United States live in "food insecure" homes. That phrase may sound mild, but it means that those households don't have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life.

Your $20,000 contribution is a driving force to turn the tide of this harsh reality. It's a beacon of hope that represents the countless meals, smiles, and opportunities that will now be possible.

The path you've chosen is not an easy one, but it's a path of purpose. Your journey is a testament to your commitment to change, your dedication to ending childhood hunger, and your belief in creating a better tomorrow.

Thank you for being a champion of our mission. Your impact is far-reaching, and we're honored to stand with you as you continue to make a difference.

See you in Bend!
