Proverbs 22:6 The faculty and staff of GEM Express Preschool & Kindergarten will be hosting our annual fundraiser. “Lights! Camera! AUCTION!” on Friday, November 13, 2015. We will be celebrating our 15th year of ministry to the families of our community with a dinner and silent auction. We would like to ask for your assistance with our event by requesting a donation of a product or service from your business. All donations are greatly appreciated and you will receive a tax deductible receipt. The best part of the auction is the variety of items offered. Items you can donate to support our kids include but are not limited to a gift card / certificate to your business, an item or items that represent your business, or anything else that would showcase your business and attract potential new customers for you such as services, tickets, or experiences. By participating in our auction, your business will be included in our program and be seen by hundreds of community members. GEM Express has an enrollment of 150 students and is located inside Grace Church which has an average Sunday attendance of 500. Proceeds from this exciting event will help us upgrade classroom technology and offset educational operating expenses as we continue to provide quality Christian education. We know you receive numerous requests each year so we thank you for considering our request. If you are able to contribute to this year’s auction, you may use the included donation form, you may fill out the form electronically on our website at www.gemexpress.org, or you may contact us by phone or email. In order to be included in the program, all donations must be received by Friday, November 6, 2015. Your support is greatly appreciated!
