“I thought this was one of the best videos I have ever showed my class. It was inspirational and energizing. The use of extreme sports made it “cool” to say no to drugs. I was so impressed to see women as well as men. The video had a strong impact on my students and opened a great dialogue afterward.” - Jayne Swan, Brooklyn NY
Dear Friend,
Did you know that drug dealers are starting to mix candy laced with marijuana and, in some states, flavored methamphetamine in order to captivate a younger clientele? According to the National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, every day, on average, 11,318 American youth (12 to 20 years of age) try alcohol for the first time, compared with 6,488 for marijuana; 2,786 for cocaine; and 386 for heroin.
We are a San Diego-based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization, whose mission is to change the hearts and minds of young people by inspiring them to make healthy choices and not use drugs. Since its inception in 1994, the Sundt Memorial Foundation has provided a powerful anti-drug video series – Natural High 1 and Natural High 2 – to over 114,000 schools serving over 31 million children. Our latest addition, Natural High 3, is also complete and will be sent to every school in the country this fall. The video series is highly acclaimed by teachers, students, and health care professionals across the nation for its use of strong celebrity drug free role models and cutting edge video techniques.
We are now on our way to creating Natural High 4; which is expected to be a mix of both star and youth content. Due to the increasing popularity of the internet amongst youth, we are also launching a brand new, state of the art, interactive website that will reward kids based on their participation with online drug prevention activities and articles.
YOU can help us continue our mission to keep kids off drugs. Please consider participating in next year’s silent and live auction gala by donating an “experience”, service, merchandise or gift certificate from your business. Your donation and all proceeds from this event will go directly to the production of Natural High 4, ensuring that the natural high message continues to reach every school and every young person in America. In return for your contribution, your business will be a “star participant” on the path to “supporting a drug free nation”. This means your name or business will receive an advertising star for public recognition in our event program as well as community acknowledgement on our website which receives over 17,000 hits a month! The enclosed Silent Auction Donation Form provides an example of how your star will appear. View a full list of last year’s “Acapulco Groove” donors who helped us raise more than $100,000.
Our Foundation’s successful execution of its mission depends on the generosity of auction donors such as yourself and our attendees. Thank you for your consideration. You may download the Silent Auction Donation Form here (PDF). Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email or telephone.
In Partnership,
