How to complete Your Diabetes Action Kit

Start Right Away:

Address the white envelopes. Affix one of your enclosed Return Address Labels in the upper left-hand corner.
Personalize the letter. Write the name of each person you are mailing to in the greeting at the top of the letter and sign the bottom. Add a short note if you like. A simple “Please help” or “Thank you” works wonders.
Affix one of your address labels onto each colored reply envelope. People will return these to you along with their donation.
Insert a signed letter, a colored reply envelope, and a ‘Thank You’ receipt into each of the white envelopes you addressed.
Mail or personally deliver the white envelopes. If you deliver your white envelopes in person, please do not leave them in the mailbox – it’s against postal regulations. (Thank you for your donation of stamps!)

As You Receive Donations:

Record donations by writing the amount next to the donor’s name on the donor list (the yellow and white striped form). Add up the numbers and write in the total. Every gift counts – even one!
Prepare and Mail one of the large yellow envelopes that are pre-addressed to the American Diabetes Association. Be sure to:

Affix one of your “PEEL HERE” labels (from the panel above your yellow and white striped donor list) in the location indicated.

Enclose your completed donor list along with the donations and mail it by the due date. NOTE: There is an additional large yellow envelope and “PEEL HERE” label should you receive donations after the due date.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure all checks are made payable to American Diabetes Association of ADA. Please do not send cash. Kindly convert all cash – and any checks that may have been made payable to you – to a personal check or money order. Your personal gift is appreciated too. Thank you so much!
