Dear Friend,
You may have heard of The Coffee Talk Show, West Virginia’s late-nite style talk show featuring artists and musicians as well as conducting interviews with professionals and celebrity guests who have ties to the state for the purpose of encouragement, inspiration and entertainment. The goal of this exciting project is to provide a venue to showcase great talent, and success stories, and to raise discussion topics to the citizens of West Virginia. Familiar faces on the national stage have been coming back to town to share their rise to fame, their accomplishments, their affinity for the state, and so on.
The Cuppa Joe Foundation, Inc., the non-profit organization that creates, produces and airs the program, is seeking your help to continue to bring this unique and quality program to our fellow citizens not only here in West Virginia, but to others through our LIVE webcast.
While it appears our country is going through financial hardships, I am sure you will agree that in spite of the difficulties we face, it is important for people to remain optimistic, inspired and entertained. It is the balance in life that helps us push through struggles and press forward to our own goals. What better way to help than by sharing stories of our own citizens? Will you consider making a contribution to keep this show on air? In the next 30 days (Jan.27-Feb.26) our target goal is $200,000 and no amount is too small. Take a moment to download our sponsorship brochure (located on our website here: http://thecoffeetalkshow.com/sponsors/), you can donate online as well. If you haven’t seen the show, I invite you to visit the link below to view our first episodes.
While the show is a work in progress, our production team consists of many professionals who are just as dedicated to the shows success as I am, and we are growing. Please join us in our efforts. If you have any questions or would like to have a meeting with those involved in the show, please visit our website or contact us by phone or email anytime.

Thank you,
Michael D. Perri, President
