Dear Great America,

On behalf of Boy Scout Troop 611, we would like to request your support for our annual Family Dinner and Silent Auction scheduled for Saturday, March 11, 2023.  The Family Dinner and Silent Auction is our troop’s single largest fundraiser of the year.  It helps to raise a substantial portion of the funds required for the Troop’s enrichment activities in the coming year.  We expect well over 600 people from the surrounding community to attend.  

Troop 611 was established in 1968 and is a member of the Boy Scouts of America Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council.  Our mission is to serve the community by helping to instill values in young people and prepare them to make ethical choices to achieve their full potential.  These values are based on those found in the Boy Scouts of America Scout Oath and Law.  

Throughout the year Troop 611 volunteers time and resources to support many other organizations, including but not limited to:  Second Harvest Food Bank, Sacred Heart Community Service, and Yu-Ai Kai Japanese American Community Senior Service.

We respectfully request admission tickets for our silent auction. Your generous support will be gratefully acknowledged at our event.  We are sponsored by the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin, with Taxpayer ID #94-1656811.

Thank you very much for your continued consideration and support of our efforts to develop leadership, teamwork and community spirit in our youth. For any questions, please feel free to contact me at 408-391-8775 or westao@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Wes Tao
