Subject Line: Please sponsor me for Rally for Rehab

Dear [INSERT NAME HERE],

I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating in UHN’s annual Rally for Rehab, presented by BMO, on Sunday, September 8, 2024. Funds raised will support Toronto Rehab and their game-changing research through its research institute, which is the #1 rehabilitation research institute in the world.

The teams at Toronto Rehab are redefining rehabilitation, developing revolutionary tools, technologies and treatments that are helping patients reach their rehabilitation goals faster. I’m raising money to help drive this important research.

I would be so grateful if you could support me in achieving my fundraising goal by making a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will help make a difference in the lives of patients at Toronto Rehab.
