Adding everybody.
I just got some exciting news, and I wanted you to hear it from me first.
Scroll way down this email chain for our preliminary Q4 fundraising numbers, but first let me say this:
Thank you.
Canadians like you didn’t just power our movement with your dollars. You shaped it.
From the open leadership vote that elected me, to the 364 open events I held with Canadians last year, or the open candidate nominations getting underway soon in ridings all across the country, you have molded our movement to reflect your values.
Now we’re starting to see the rewards of your incredible hard work — please share the great news with everyone you know.
Add your friends to this email chain, share the news, and invite them to join our movement:

Thank you.

Adding Justin. Great numbers from Christina, see below.
All — For me it’s the donor number that really stands out.
The media will likely focus on the $4.3-million, but consider this… in all of 2011, which was an election year, 49,650 donors entrusted us with their dollars.
Now, in just the last three months of 2013, we had nearly that many Canadians — over 43,000 — generously chip in to our movement.
If numbers tell a story, this story shows our message of hope and hard work is resonating with Canadians!

Jeremy, Katie, Stephen,
I’ve got some preliminary fundraising numbers for Q4 and December — they’re incredible.
It looks like we may just have had our best day, our best month, and our best quarter of the year, and possibly ever.
The highlights:
— Best day: On December 31 we raised $614,145.
— Best month: Throughout December, an astounding 36,849 donors chipped in an average of $66.93 for a total of over $2.9-million. That means there’s a good chance we outraised the Conservatives in December on dollars alone.
— Best quarter: Here’s the most exciting news. Again this is a preliminary number, but it’s looking like between October and December we raised over $4.3-million from 43,000 Canadians.
There you have it!
Christina
