Dear potential HERO,

We have the honor of co-hosting the 2007 Golden H.E.R.O. Awards Gala along with our wives Katharyn and Dawnette, to bring together the Bulldog and Yellow Jacket nations in an effort to raise support for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Georgia.

The Golden H.E.R.O. Awards Gala is the largest fundraiser for pediatric AIDS in the Southeast and will be held Friday, December 14, 2007 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel, with proceeds benefiting H.E.R.O. for Children, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Coach Vince Dooley and his wife Barbara will serve as Honorary Chairs and we will present the prestigious 2007 Golden H.E.R.O. Award to Dr. Helene Gayle, Chief Executive Officer of CARE USA, for her lifetime achievement in the fight against HIV/AIDS. To add a special flair to the night, we will be joined by very Special Guests from the Food Network, Paula Deen and her sons Jamie and Bobby Deen, as this will be their first charity event in the city of Atlanta.

We would like to request that you participate by getting tickets, tables or becoming a sponsor for the 2007 Golden H.E.R.O. Awards Gala. By supporting this event, you will help us raise funds for H.E.R.O. for Children, the only organization dedicated to improving the Quality of Life for children infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS in Georgia through enriching programs, unforgettable experiences and connections with the community. More than 12,000 children are affected by HIV/AIDS in Georgia and our state has the 8th highest rate of pediatric AIDS in the nation.

Please review this website to see the impact your investment will have on these children and the ways we will honor your donation by providing substantial brand recognition.

Thank you in advance for supporting this event and these special Georgia children affected by HIV/AIDS.

And remember to always be heroic!

Sincerely,

Mark Richt Head Football Coach University of Georgia
