Kirsten Teller,

I'm writing to thank you for standing by our side as we work to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges.

A few weeks ago, I invited you to make a donation to my Foundation that I would personally match dollar-for-dollar, with an ambitious goal of $100,000. We not only reached our goal, we went twice the distance.

I know many people are unable to financially support our work in this economic climate, but I'm deeply grateful for all you do to support my Foundation, and for the many ways you contribute to building a better world.

I want to make sure you know how important you are to strengthening my Foundation's ability to serve more families and communities here in the U.S. and across the globe.

This week is no exception. Last Thursday I announced new pricing agreements we negotiated with Pfizer and Mylan that will help turn the tide of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Second-line treatment of HIV/AIDS and a key drug used to treat tuberculosis for those taking second-line medications will be significantly more affordable, enabling hundreds of thousands of people in developing countries to be put on lifesaving treatment over the next several years. My Foundation's HIV/AIDS Initiative has already helped 2 million people living with HIV/AIDS access more affordable treatment.

Also last week, we honored 114 outstanding schools across the U.S. that have succeeded in building healthy learning environments. To date, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a partnership between my Foundation and the American Heart Association, has helped give more than 3 million kids increased opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating, and we look forward to reaching even more in the year ahead.

While pursuing new opportunities in 2009, we've also taken the time to reflect on our successes in 2008. Watch the video I recorded for you and learn more about our shared accomplishments in our 2008 Annual Report.

Thank you for partnering with us to bring hope to more people around the world. None of our progress would be possible without you.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton
