I am writing to you on behalf of Stone Scholastic Academy, a Chicago Public Magnet School located in the West Ridge neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. 

On March 10-18, 2024, the Friends of Stone Academy (FOSA) will host its 16th Annual Auction event online at Bidding for Good.

FOSA is committed to raising needed funds for supplemental enrichment programs in the arts and sciences, as well as supporting investments in technology for all grades, after-school programs, the annual school musical, and Stone’s Library. These programs help make Stone such an amazing place for its student population of diverse racial/ethnic composition. The Auction also supports unique artist residencies for every grade!

Your sponsorship would be instrumental in the success of our fundraising event. Holding our auction online at Bidding for Good offers tremendous visibility for your donation. Last year, our auction attracted hundreds of total bidders: a group that included many members of our school’s community, but also a large number from across Chicagoland and the surrounding region. It is truly a win-win.

Your organization can help contribute in the following ways:

1.     Donate Goods or Services for our online auction. 

-        Gift cards/certificates/tickets/membership/vouchers/packages/etc. You can email them directly to Falguni.shah9@gmail.com

2.     Become a sponsor or donate money!

To donate any amount, please send payment via Zelle or PayPal to friendsofstone@gmail.com or at this link with any credit card (Donate Online to Stone Academy).

Friends of Stone Academy is a 501(c)(3) organization with ID # 32-0282764, so your donation is tax-deductible.  

May we count on your support?

Thanks again! I appreciate you taking the time to consider my inquiry.

Sincerely,
