Dear Friends:
We are excited to begin planning for our annual youth dinner auction to be held on Saturday, November 1, 2008 at the K of C Hall in Perryville.
The primary purpose for this auction is to raise funds for our church’s youth activities to include a national gathering that we are planning for our youth to attend in New Orleans in 2010. Your support of this auction makes attendance at these events possible. A percentage of the profit from this auction event also helps to support other church and school funding needs. We are always open for suggestions regarding service projects in the community which will impact the lives of others as we share our good fortune and the love of our Lord.
The success of our auction depends upon contributions from businesses, individuals, and groups who are willing to donate merchandise, coupons, tickets, services or cash to help us with our efforts. In the past, this auction has raised approximately $12,000 for our youth and other projects. Having our donations determined early will allow us time to do the additional advertising for the event and displaying of the items to the public. We are hoping that this increases our success at the auction this year. We have set a goal of raising $15,000 for the 2008 event.
In addition to a donation, you have the opportunity to advertise in our auction book. We are selling ads to promote your business at the following prices:
1/4 page: $25 1/2 page: $50 Full Page: $75
For all ads, please provide a business card or ad print that you want us to use.
For any donations that are greater than $300, after providing proof of value, you will receive 2 FREE dinner auction tickets. For donations greater than $500, after providing proof of value, you will receive 4 FREE dinner auction tickets. This is a great NEW feature that we hope many businesses’ take advantage of.
All donations are tax deductible and receipts will be sent to you following the auction. Thank you in advance for your generous support of these efforts. We appreciate your help in allowing us to further build the Christian foundation for our youth.
Sincerely,
Immanuel Youth Board Auction Committee
