St. Christopher's Hospital

KELEE WHALON

Below is the letter my son, John, is sending out for his Management class. If you want to donate towards the purchase of beds, include a note that this is for John Whalon’s Management class project (address and name are below):

Dear Family Members and Friends:

As a semester-long project, for my Management class, my group is required to add value to a select nonprofit organization in some way. My group has chosen St. Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia. St. Christopher’s performs many surgeries for children with heart problems for free and most of the hospital is run on donations. After speaking to a representative and experiencing the value first hand, we were able to determine that the hospital has a need of beds for parents. Often before surgery, children wish their parents to stay in the hospital rooms with them. Our plan is to donate beds to be used to house parents so they can be with their children before and after surgery.

We are writing this letter to ask for donations to help our cause in both funding the events we have planned to raise money, such as a dinner night for faculty here at Villanova, and adding to our donation to St. Christopher’s. My group is asking friends and family members to help out, with whatever amount you can to help us get our project up and running.

Please send donations for beds by Friday, April 16 to:

Debra A. Arvanites, Ph. D.

Associate Dean, Villanova School of Business

Villanova, PA 19085
