Description

To Whom it May Concern:

We are writing on behalf of St. John Brebeuf Parish School to request your support for our 26th Annual SJB Gala. This very special event will be held at our Parish Ministry Center in Niles, IL on February 22, 2020.

Each year Gala contributes to assist school families in need. Additionally, we fundraise to enhance our facilities and expand educational enrichment for our parish children. In recent years, with the help of contributors like you, we have hired an Art and Music instructor, implemented a 1:1 technology program and built a new playground for our students.

Our event is expected to draw over 300 supporters. Participating businesses will be featured in our event program. The reach of St. John Brebeuf’s Parish is about 3,000 families. Additionally, our parish school supports St. Martha’s in Morton Grove, IL and St. Isaac Joague’s in Niles, IL. Supporting SJB’s 26th Annual Gala exposes your business to nearly 7,000 families.

We are writing to ask for your consideration in donating a product or service from your business. This would be a wonderful addition to our event and would certainly increase the amount raised in our silent auction.


St. John Brebeuf School is a 501(c) 3 organization and donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. A donation form is attached. Simply fill it out, then call or email us and our team will handle everything.


On behalf of the students at St. John Brebeuf, thank you very much for your consideration of our request. Please contact us at gala@sjbschool.org or 847-966-3266.

 

Cordially,

 

Edward and Sylvia Mallon
