How exciting it was to get an envelope with the Garth Brooks Teammates For Kids Foundation logo in my mail!

Don sent a receipt for my donation, which was pretty cool, I've never gotten one before, and I know they aren't required to send them unless your donation was $250. So for whatever reason, I'm glad they shared what happens to our money once they cash our checks, and I wanted to share part of the letter here:

Upon receipt of your donation, we immediately processed the check through our account at Merrill Lynch. The Philanthropic Services Division will be responsible for the short and long term management of all of these funds. Please know that we take the management and disbursement of these funds seriously and that your donation is important in our team effort in helping needy children. We'd like to thank you for being our "Teammate" in this effort of helping children in need.

The receipt was signed by Don and the bottom of the letter includes a part to send back with the next donation! Thank you Don for keeping us informed, and thank you Moni for taking such good care of the children's money!
Be watching your mail!

Wow Joyce! What timing! I read this thread about an hour ago. Well, I just went out to get the mail, and found this same letter in my box! :)I think it is very cool that Don signed it. Thanks Don and Teammates, and thank you Moni!:D

Thanks, Don and Moni. It always feels good when you know someone appreciates the little bit that you can do. :) This letter is so special because I am sure they are used to some enormous donations and my donation was so small. Although, small donations do add up.

I got mine yesterday. I always get a letter confirming receipt of my donation when I've sent a check directly to them.

Ahhh very interesting. I guess in the past PG donations they've never seen the individual checks to know how much money was coming from where so this sort of thing wasn't possible.

You know I was thinking about these letters last night. All overhead, administrative, operating costs are taken care of by Garth so that every cent of our (and everyone else's!) donations can go straight to the kids.

SO... Garth bought the stamps, he bought the stationary... from where I sit - we all got letters from Garth yesterday!
:D

I also received my Thank You letter in the mail. I thought that it was very nice of them to go to the exta trouble to acknowledge my small donation.
