Dear Mr. Matheson,

The City of Phoenix Heat Relief Efforts for 2007 proved to be a tremendous success due to the generous contributions we received from local businesses and non-profit organizations.

Those contributions were the heart of this effort.  For people living on the streets, summer months become more than uncomfortable; they become life-threatening.  The distribution of water, as well as other items, helps to alleviate the effects of our unrelenting summer temperatures. 

Through your generous donations, the City of Phoenix collected and distributed over 108,000 bottles of water, 1,558 containers of sunscreen and 5,298 pairs of socks, underwear and hats to those who are homeless.

Without the support and generosity you\'ve provided, we would not be able to provide this relief throughout the hot summer months.  Thank you for making a difference.

Sincerely,

Phil Gordon, Mayor, City of Phoenix
Phoenix, AZ
