Hello (shelter contact),

My name is (name) and I am a (derm resident, dermatologist, medical student, etc.) at (place) (link to bio if you have one, to show legitimacy).

I am contacting you as a representative of the Women’s Dermatologic Society (WDS). WDS strives to be the premier organization cultivating personal and professional development of women dermatologists dedicated to excellence in patient care, mentorship, volunteerism, leadership, and service. We would like to work with your organization to coordinate an educational opportunity for the women you serve.

WDS created a service program, the Transforming Interconnecting Program Project (TIPP). The mission of the TIPP is to lift up women in our community. By treating the total woman, we hope to address all her needs through education about skin care, oral hygiene, self-care habits, nutrition, social skills and more, so that she may go out into the world and be the best version of herself, inside and out.

I am very interested in hosting a volunteer TIPP presentation at (shelter, location). The presentations are about one hour long, with catering and goodie bags provided by WDS.

Make it clear to them throughout the talk. You may have additional objectives and items for your audience if you have an academic talk. If this is t
