Dear Sponsor: During the summer of 1999, a caring group of Houston Police Department officers will once again "go the extra mile" in a continuing effort to help find a cure for the number one child killing disease -leukemia (and ten times more adults than children die of leukemia!). The bicycle relay trip for 1999 will begin from Texas Children's Hospital and end 12 days, 4450 miles later, in Fairbanks, Alaska. You can participate in this life saving effort through sponsorship of these hard working officers. Whatever you can afford will make the difference in someone's life. We recognize five different sponsor levels, PLATINUM ($5000+), GOLD ($1000-$4999), SILVER ($500-$999), BRONZE ($175-$499), and PATRON ($100-$174). Although the biggest appreciation is certainly from the thousands of leukemia patients benefiting from your contribution, we express our appreciation for your sponsorship by giving you something in return (see back side for different sponsor level recognition items). Including the donations from last year, the total tax-deductible contributions given through the HPD Bicycle Relay Team has now passed $2.1 million dollars. Because of generous giving like this, continuing research has been possible that has resulted in survival rates for the most common form of childhood leukemia rising from 5% in 1960 to 79% in 1998! Further, leukemia researchers pioneered and developed these major cancer treatments: chemotherapy, transfusion and radiation therapies and bone marrow transplants. There are hundreds of thousands of adults and children all over the world battling leukemia who, along with us, appreciate your generosity more than you will ever know. On their behalf and from all the HPD Bicycle Relay Team, we sincerely thank you. |
