Dear Friend of Family Honor:
You are receiving this e-mail as a friend of our organization. We need your help. We have hit a cash flow crunch that is having a significant effect on our staff. They are loyally working away at half pay and even that will be interrupted.
We have assembled a real “A Team” of staff and consultants over the last year to help implement our vision of putting Family Honor in every diocese in the country. Great strides have been made thus far: we have significant, new alliances with Catholic bishops and lay leadership around the country; we have added an affiliate in Ohio; our executive director and other guests are being interviewed regularly via Catholic media (our executive director will be a guest of Father Mitch Pacwa on EWTN Live this month); our parent-child programs are in the process of being updated and streamlined; and staff has been planning new ways of reaching even more parents. We also have many fund development efforts underway. Ironically, however, much of those fund development efforts will not bear fruit until at least the first of the year.
Excluding project driven efforts, which are covered by specific grants or donations, it takes about $25,000 a month to operate Family Honor’s home office. Our parent-child programs are essentially revenue neutral.
Can you help? In the short term, we need $15,000 by the 15th of September. We would also appreciate pledge commitments over the next few months. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to those who you think may be able to provide a donation to Family Honor. You can donate via the secure Family Honor web site at www.familyhonor.org or you can drop a check to our office:

Catching up on e-mails tonight, and found this in my box. Whenever someone asks me about catholic sex-ed, I send them to Family Honor. These are good folks who stepped in to fill a moral vacuum in catechesis, way back when no one else was willing or able. If you’ve benefited from one of their classes, workshops, conferences or publications over the years, consider taking a minute to send a thank-you contribution:
