Hi!

The PSF just launched an exciting fundraising drive with a goal of raising
$20,000.00 USD by May 12th. The drive began April 16, 2018, and concludes
at PyCon on May 12th.

Your donations help the Python community worldwide by supporting sprints,
meetups, community events and projects, the Python Ambassador Program,
fiscal sponsorships, and of course, software development and open source
projects. All of these initiatives help improve the Python community and
Python tools that you use daily. The work cannot be done without the
generous financial support that individuals and organizations provide us.

It is easy to donate - simply click on the amount you would like to give,
and enter your email address. Confirm your contribution and you will be
able to pay with your PayPal account or a credit or debit card.
Contributions are tax deductible for individuals and organizations in the
United States.

To thank you for your financial support, we will enter you in a drawing to
win the following prizes:

   - Ticket to PyCon 2019 (1 winner)
   - Photos with Guido van Rossum at PyCon 2018 (must be present to win)
   - Lunch with Guido van Rossum at PyCon 2018 (8 winners, must be present
   to win)
   - Custom designed Guido T-Shirt (5 winners)
   - =E2=80=9CI Donated=E2=80=9D stickers
   - Custom designed =E2=80=9CGuido=E2=80=9D stickers

More details on contributing can be found on the 2018 Q2 Fundraising Drive
page <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2018-q2-drive/>. No donation is
necessary to enter the drawing.

We at the PSF want to thank you for all that you do. Your support is what
makes the PSF possible and is greatly appreciated by the Python community.
