Media Pitch Rough Draft

For Those Who Don’t Live on “Easy Street”

-Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) is a non-profit organization that teaches people how they can be successful doing what they love, rather than living paycheck to paycheck in a job they are stuck in.

-CVAIA provides the public with the opportunity to learn how to make their money work for them. It teaches people that financial, physical, mental, social and emotional wealth and health are the foundations of financial independence. By educating individuals on how to become financially independent, CVAIA hopes that individuals will then share their knowledge with groups and companies and eventually America will be able to correct its financial instability. Parker said, “I believe we can turn this country around if we build from the bottom up.”

-This is a story worth writing about because it is an organization that simply wants to help people like you and me. People who make a living to support their families and often live from paycheck to paycheck. The sooner people get involved with this program, the sooner they can be on the path to a better life.

    Good way to give the "this is a story worth writing about" graf, I think it's a good way to clearly spell out why exactly a news source wants your story. But, maybe you could move that paragraph/sell your story in the intro instead of at the end. Also, I was under the impression we were supposed to actually have a specific news source in mind when we wrote our letters, so you may want to find a news paper to "submit" your mock media pitch to. Good job all in all! Very concise and to-the-point.
