Subject: Help CCT! through Suntrust

Several people have asked me lately about local mentoring opportunities, so I thought it would be a great time to remind everyone about a wonderful agency right here in Chatham, Chatham County Together!. CCT! matches local mentors with at-risk school-age children and youth. They also provide a family advocacy program for families with children who have disabilites as well as a pregnancy prevention program, Hablando Claro. In addition, they serve the children in this county through tutoring, recreational, educational, artistic, and camping opportunities.

This program needs you. To be a mentor or tutor, all you need is a love for seeing children reach their full potential. You don’t need a college degree or a big-paying job. There is a child in Chatham just waiting for someone like you to be there for them.

Please also consider contributing to CCT!. I know our purses are tight with the declining economy, so I wanted to offer two great ways to give to this truly deserving agency without opening your wallet:
Suntrust Bank is offering to give a charitable agency $100 in your name when you open a new account with them and use your bank card once. Check with the local branches for more information. Chatham County Together! is a registered non-profit with Suntrust.

Also, if you already have an account with Suntrust, sign up for SunPoints at suntrust.com/rewards or by calling 1-800-SUNTRUST.

Here’s what it says directly from the website:

You can now redeem your SunPoints and donate them to a charity of your choice. And SunTrust will help you make a difference- at no additional cost to you. Now when you choose to donate your SunPoints to a charity, you will get an extra certificate from SunTrust to donate to your charity. See how your giving can add up:

o    3,000 SunPoints = $25 charitable donation Plus get a $15 SunTrust Bank matching donation
o    5,000 SunPoints = $50 charitable donation Plus get a $25 SunTrust Bank matching donation
o    10,000 SunPoints = $100 charitable donation Plus get a $50 SunTrust Bank matching donation

So, you can turn a $25 donation into $40 and so on…
