The Forward E-mail letter!

I just donated to An Endgame, and I thought the project might interest you too!

An Endgame is a fiction short film about two brothers with Parkinson's disease directed by Cory Line.

An Endgame is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization partnered with the Wilkin's Parkinson's Foundation, to spread awareness and raise donations for Parkinson's disease research by use of the to be made short film.

If you are interested in more information about the short film, non-profit organization, or details on how a film is made, please visit http://anendgame.blogspot.com/ or check them out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/anendgamemovie.

If you've already heard about the project and are interested in supporting them, the secure donation link is https://secure.qgiv.com/for/aend.

Thanks and have a great day!

A Helping Hand

We've gotten a number of notes from people saying that they know someone who might be interested in our project, but that they don't feel comfortable asking them directly. Could we reach out to them with more information?

We welcome such letters, and we would be happy to reach out to anyone and everyone who might be interested in supporting us!

Shoot us an e-mail at anendgame@gmail.com with their information and we'll do the rest!

Thanks,
Cory

Employee Donation Matching!

One of my friends just told me that the company he works for, Welles Fargo, will match 100% of donations up to a certain amount, and a quick google search shows that many other companies do the same.

If you have made a donation or are planning to donate and would like to check and see if your company donation matches, check HERE for a list put together by the Salvation Army*.

If you see your company name and are interested in setting up a donation match, send us an e-mail at anendgame@gmail.com, and we'll help you with the process!

Companies on the list are:
Bank of America
BP
Exxon
Gap, Inc
GE
Johnson & Johnson
Microsoft
Starbucks (maybe)
Verizon
Welles Fargo

as well as many other national and even regional companies.

If you don't see your employer on the list, don't be discourage. This is not a complete list by any means. Still shoot us an e-mail at anendgame@gmail.com, and we can help find out if a matching program does exist (Starbucks' was hard to find), or we can send you a form letter to see if your company might be interested regardless.

Thank you all so much,
Cory

Online Donations are a go!

We have now reached the stage where we can accept online donations for our budget and then on to making our short film!

An Endgame has decided to go with Qgiv for secure online donations! Qgiv is the service that the Wilkins Parkinson's Foundation also uses for their online donations.

As a non-profit venture, all donations to the budget through Qgiv are tax-deductible. You will be e-mailed a receipt that can be used as proof of your donation come tax time. We will also send out a reminder e-mail of your donation next March.

If you are making a donation in someone's name, tell us on the donation page, and we would love to publish that on our site along with any words of encouragement or thoughts about that person you'd like to share. If you have Parkinson's yourself, we would appreciate if you shared some of your own personal experiences, musings, or even difficulties living with PD for us to put up on the site. My hope is that people will visit our People of Parkinson's page and weigh-in with their support and other memories of loved ones.

Please e-mail us at anendgame@gmail.com with pictures too for us to put with the dedication and People of Parkinson's posts!

You can also donate to the film if you just like short-form entertainment and have not had any experience with Parkinson's at all!

If you aren't in a position to donate, that's ok too! It would be great if you could tell a friend or two about the project and directed them to our web site at www.anendgame.blogspot.com. If you happen to be friends with Bill Gates, heck we'd even prefer it!

Donations can be made at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/aend or even to Mayon, David or me in person via web or mobile app!

You will also be able to opt-in to our e-mail list for major updates to the short film (all major and minor updates will always be in the production journal).

Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting our artistic vision that will in turn aid in the efforts to end Parkinson's disease.

Director, An Endgame
