2015 donation request letter - Junior Service Club of Edwardsville

To whom it may concern:
On Saturday, February 7, 2015, The Junior Service Club of Edwardsville/Glen
Carbon (JSC) will be hosting the 5th Annual Charity Gala at Sunset Hills Country
Club. Tickets are on sale for $100 per person and will include dinner, open bar,
silent and live auction, and live entertainment. We anticipate approximately 225
guests at this exciting event.
The JSC is a 501(c)3 philanthropic women’s organization that has been providing
assistance to families and other non-profit organizations in the Edwardsville &
Glen Carbon communities for over 75 years. If you have supported our
organization in the past, we would greatly appreciate your continued support.
Last year’s auction was a huge success raising over $41,000. All of the funds
raised by the JSC go back into to the community in the form of scholarships and
donations to local non-profit organizations such as the Glen-Ed Food Pantry,
Riverbend Head Start, Habitat for Humanity, and many others.
We are counting on the support and generosity of corporate and local business
owners to make this event a huge success. Please consider being a sponsor or
making a donation to our live or silent auction this year. We are offering a
variety of exciting sponsorship opportunities. Donor recognition, sponsorship
levels, and pricing are detailed on the enclosed form and can also be viewed and
purchased online at www.edglenjuniorservice.org.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lauren Ide
