My name is Zach Morris and I am a board member for the Missouri Chapter of the Scleroderma Foundation reaching out to a few of my favorite places in St. Louis to gain support in our upcoming Run/Walk event on October 7, 2023 at Creve Couer Park/online as well as our Patient Education conference in November 2023.

The Scleroderma Foundation is a federally qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving the needs of the scleroderma community. Our primary goal is to raise funds and awareness for our three-fold mission of support, education and research. This Foundation not only serves adults with this disease but the ever evolving and debilitating version that our children deal with.

Over 20 years ago my mother was diagnosed with this life changing disease that went through our lives like a shock wave. Making what seemed like a death sentence a thing to live with, she is on the eve of her 71st birthday and still with us going strong. It is my primary goal to put the Missouri Chapter on the map and to make every fundraiser event bigger than the last, even with an event like COVID-19 and it's after shock standing in our way.

We all know and are highly aware of what these last few years have been and what it has done to every industry including Non-Profits. If you all could help with anything from certificates (that will return right back to you all at a reported 50% more in spending ) to giveaways, we would be immensely appreciative.

Not ONLY will your business get their name out there through the prizes but publishing in outgoing emails, social media posts, event flyers, etc.

Thank you for your time and attention to this email.

Stay safe.
