To Whom It May Concern:
Ithaca Community Childcare Center (IC3) is the largest childcare
center in Tompkins County serving over 230 families. We are excited
to be planning our 19 th Annual Benefit Auction! This event will be a
virtual weeklong event from June 3 rd to June 10 th to benefit our
Growing Together Capital Campaign. 100% of the proceeds raised
will go toward expanding high-quality, affordable, childcare in the
Ithaca community.
The pandemic has laid bare how critical childcare is as a support
industry to not only individual families but to our economy as a whole.
While the world has changed in many ways, the need for our campaign
has not. In fact, it has become even more urgent. Now more than ever,
quality childcare for our community is essential. With this campaign,
we hope to help meet that need.
Over the years we have consistently received tremendous support from
our local community through sponsorships, goods, and services
donated by local and national companies. Can we count on your
support this year? We are accepting donated services,
merchandise, or gift certificates for the auction.
I hope you will consider supporting our efforts to provide affordable
childcare to working families in our community. One of our staff or
board members will be contacting you to follow up in the next few
weeks, and in the meantime should you have any questions or would
like to make a donation, please call 607-257-0200 or email
office@icthree.org . Thank you for your consideration.
We appreciate your support!

Sincerely,

Sherri Koski
Executive Director
