VietBay Sponsors Newsletter 9/13/2021: 3x matching opportunities!
Dear sponsors,
In the last days of August 2021, our campaign crossed the $500K milestone. This is already beyond our wildest dreams, but it doesn’t end there. Netflix employees and anonymous VietBay members have given us another 3x matching sponsorship: for every $1 you contribute, they will donate an additional $2 for up to $70,000! This is the great news that we alluded to in our last newsletter.
The new matching funds, however, are being depleted very quickly! At the time I am writing this line, we’ve successfully matched about $50K out of $70K. You still have a chance to triple up your donation if you act fast :-).
We plan to give 10,000 more food packages, 50,000 more 3M 8210 N95 masks, 20 more patient monitors, and 60 more syringe pumps. Given the great momentum we have seen, we expect the final numbers to be much greater!
Things happened
- VietBay kids and friends performed live music on Castro street in downtown Mountain View and raised $950 on the spot for our campaign. With matching from their parents and parent’s employers, we are told that the expected final contribution to the campaign would be $10,000.
- After staying put for two weeks due to the military-imposed lockdown, the Lotus Foundation has resumed distributing food.
- During the lockdown we funded several smaller, grass-root groups to continue to deliver food, masks and PPEs to volunteers and struggling people.
