Description

Dear St. Joan of Arc Supporter,
We are hosting our largest fundraising event, the 27th annual SJA gala, on March 2nd
at the Bolingbrook Golf Course. The 2024 Gala will host 250+ attendees and features
dinner, open bar, music, silent and live auctions and the drawing for our Grand Raffle.
The mission of St. Joan of Arc Catholic School is to provide students a firm foundation
in the Catholic faith, thereby creating the opportunity and the means to achieve
academic excellence. St. Joan of Arc Catholic School prepares students to meet future
challenges by fostering deep spiritual development and promoting academic success,
based on individual abilities. Your support of our fundraising efforts provides critical
resources for our students, covers the operating budget keeping tuition costs down,
and enhances our educator compensation through the Teacher Salary Initiative.
Without you, our mission isn’t possible.
We are asking for your support in the form of a sponsorship or a donation of a product
or service we can use in our live or silent auctions. All donations are greatly
appreciated and tax deductible. We anticipate over 250 guests, spanning multiple
counties in Illinois, at our event and countless others nationwide who will have access
to the silent auction through our mobile bidding process. St. Joan of Arc will show our
appreciation for your contribution by giving you exposure at the event as well as in
pre-event and post-event marketing. To make a donation, please complete the
enclosed donation form to ensure you are recognized in our event marketing
materials.
Your involvement makes a difference in the continued achievements of this event
which supports our on-going efforts to provide a superior learning experience of
academic excellence with strong faith formation.
We thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of our request.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Michelle Picchione, School Principal
Becky Vacco-Giudice and Maria Anderson, Gala Co-Chairs
Liza Schieszler, Gala Procurement Chair
