Dennis Cheng: thank you once again for closing 2011 on such an inspirational note.

robert,

Let me just start by saying thank you.

The response to President Clinton's 2–for–1 matching gift campaign was tremendous!

Thanks to this community and the more than 7,000 individuals who stepped forward to donate last month, we were able to raise more than $1.2 million for Clinton Foundation activities in 2012. When I shared these results with President Clinton, he was deeply moved and asked me to extend his gratitude to you.

Because of this incredible outpouring of support, we are confident that our ambitious plans to improve lives around the world in 2012 will come to fruition:

• Teaching farmers more efficient farming techniques and helping them find stable markets and fair prices in Malawi;
• Leading the charge against the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States by helping America's schools serve healthier meals at more affordable prices to more than 30 million students;
• Performing life-changing cataract surgeries in Peru – with a goal of reaching 50,000 people by 2013; and
• Working with private investors, NGOs, Haitian entrepreneurs, and the government of Haiti to support education, capacity building, and the creation of more than 20,000 jobs.

On behalf of everyone here at the Clinton Foundation and the people you've helped around the world, thank you once again for closing 2011 on such an inspirational note.

Sincerely,

Dennis Cheng
