WWFHA Special Email
Washington Wild Member Update - November 6, 2017
Dear WWFHA family, friends and supporters,
We appreciate your taking time to read this important email.
Fifteen years ago, WWFHA pledged to help young females learn to skate and play hockey – to grow the girls’ game in the northwest and empower more females through the sport.
This year we celebrate 15 years of girls’ hockey and growth!
Today, we are more committed than ever to bring the sport of ice hockey to young females in the community, like your daughter, and help them grow on and off the ice through their experiences in the sport; however, we need your help.
Will you join us as we strive to reach our annual goal?
We just launched our 2017 campaign called:
Fill the 15!
Help us reach our $15,000 goal before December 31st by filling the number 15 with your donation.
We have already reach the $2,000 mark with your generous support!
Every little bit helps and we hope you will consider a small donation.
Help us ‘Fill the 15’ so we may focus on the four core areas that will benefit from your patronage:
- Keeping WWFHA dues subsidized and administrative costs down
- Funding financial aid packages for players that need assistance
- Providing more training equipment for the teams
- Reaching out to the community to interest more girls in playing hockey
Please contribute today if you can!

Help Spread the Word!
You can also help by spreading the word about our campaign!
Through crowdfunding, you can reach out to your large circle of friends, family, friends of friends, and fans of hockey to ask everyone for a small amount of support. A little goes a long way and sharing of our campaign does as well! Help spread the word by using the hashtag #WhenGivingGoWild #FillThe15
Plus you can help:
- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – not only ‘like’ our posts, but share them too (be sure to tag @WWFHA). Or, start your own fundraising campaign on behalf of WWFHA on Facebook (just ask how!)
- Direct Email--biggest impact.
- Only 0.5% of donations came from outside the organization in past years. We want to improve that with your help!
- Please spend five minutes to send an email to your network of family and friends – if you need an example email, let us know!
- Sending personal emails to each individual yields the best results.
