We would like to invite you to participate in a unique fundraising opportunity. From November 28 to December 20, 2015, we are hosting Invest In a Child Holiday Raffle during our 17th Annual Christmas Tree Lot to benefit The Youth Center, a non-profit organization that provides educational & recreational programs for children ages 5 to 18.

“I would have had to stay home all summer without your help.” This is a direct quote from Michelle Fields, a 7 year old Youth Center participant whose family went through a severe financial catastrophe. Michelle’s mother is a single parent and she unexpectedly lost her job. The Youth Center was able to give Michelle a scholarship so she could go to our Summer Camp to meet new friends, play games, do crafts, and sports. I sincerely hope Michelle’s story captures your heart, as it is an experience over 3,000 families can relate to.

We’re seeking items from donors like you. This is an exciting and worthwhile chance to support children while promoting your brand and product to a target audience of nearly 8,350 The Youth Center supporters (plus exposure to all the customers at the Tree Lot - about 4,000 customers every year).

By supporting The Youth Center’s auction you’ll receive:

• Valuable exposure simply for donating an item to our Invest In a Child Holiday Raffle.

• Greater interest in your products/services because we’re sending out numerous weekly Email communications and using other powerful promotional vehicles to encourage our members’ participation and support in spreading word about Invest In a Child Holiday Raffle.

• You logo on the banner at the Christmas Tree Lot

Starting early November 2015, The Youth Center will begin promoting Invest In a Child Holiday Raffle to our supporters. The sooner you sign on, the more promotion you’ll enjoy as a generous item donor.

This auction enables us to provide item donors like you with a valuable platform for visibility within our community. The greater the value of the items you choose to donate, the more opportunities for promotion and recognition your organization can receive. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and consider supporting our auction!

Any support for this critically important cause truly does make a difference. Should you decide to support us with a donation, please simply give me a call or mail the donation to 10909 Oak Street, Los Alamitos, CA 90720. Our Tax ID is 95-2142369. I will also be happy to send you a formal receipt for your tax purposes.

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,
Lina Lumme
