As told to me by Gotham member Michael Farrell:

My friends daughter was born with Cardio-facio-cutaneous Syndrome, a very rare disease that receives very little attention.  CFC International serves as an advocate by raising awareness within the medical community and government agencies. I was overjoyed to hear this organization was chosen to receive money from the Gotham Foundation .  It was great to go home that night knowing I helped someone. They were ecstatic and very grateful to the Gotham organization.They used the money for brochures to help get the word out about this rare disease which has made a difference to other families.http://cfcsyndrome.org/. I belong to or have belonged to other networking groups.  I have never seen so much effort put forward towards giving back to the community as Gotham. I donate to do my part. I would expect a great majority of us are fiscally fortunate albeit some more than others…..how can you not donate?

Donate now to Gotham's 501c3 Foundation for our Season of Giving initiative at http://gothamfoundation.org/
Your donation will be doubled because Raj has agreed to match any credit card donations. Even $25 will help, because it turns into $50.
The goal is $25,000 to be able to give 5 -$5000 donations. Wouldn’t be great if your charity is chosen on December 2 !!!!


Keep on making a difference,

Hi Mike,
As you know Gotham has only raised $9000 to date for the Foundation. The goal is $25,000 so we can give to 5  nonprofit organizations.
In 2013  your nomination of CFC International<http://www.cfcsyndrome.org/> was a recipient. I know you must have been so excited.
It is my goal for the next few weeks to send out a story of each winner, to help us, motivate our membership, to donate and  reach our goal of $25,000.
So if you can answer a few questions(see below) of which I can repost the answers , then send out to the membership I would be grateful.  Of course feel free to answer only the questions you want.
I’d like to have your story by this Monday, October 5.
I know you want to help nonprofits benefit from the generosity of Gotham.
Thank you!
