With New Year's Eve nearly here, I hope you will take this final opportunity in 2016 to help the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) for which The Arc of Massachusetts advocates.
 
By making a special year-end gift to The Arc before midnight on December 31, you will be able to deduct your contribution on your 2016 taxes. And most importantly, you will enhance the lives of people with I/DD and support their families.
 
You can help The Arc take on the many challenges that lie ahead: challenges to funding, to services, to rights. By making a year-end gift to the annual fund, you will make our advocacy in 2017 possible. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today!
  •  Mail a gift postmarked by December 31 to: 
   The Arc of Massachusetts
   P.O. Box 541603
   Waltham, MA 02454   

Thank you for your consideration! Warmest wishes from all of us for a happy holiday season!

Sincerely, 
Leo V. Sarkissian
