Description

Dear Friend,

 

The 16th annual Sharing Connections golf outing will be held on September 16, 2019 at Seven Bridges Golf Course 1 Mulligan Drive, Woodridge, IL 60517. I am inviting you to participate in a very special way as an outing sponsor or silent auction donor.  When you support our golf outing, you join an elite group of local companies whose successful model includes a high value placed on volunteerism and community engagement.

 

The families we welcome into our warehouse often come to us as a result of moving from homelessness to a home, fleeing domestic violence, returning or homelessness veterans, families effected fires, floods, or just struggling in the cycle of poverty. We typically have over 150 local guests attending our golf outing helping to raise money for Sharing Connections, a 501(c)3 charity servicing the Chicagoland area.

Here are a few examples of the impact:

  • Over 9700 individuals received  furniture, household items, beds and clothing items
  • 935 children received a new bed (for many it was the first bed they have had)
  • 255 babies received cribs
  • More than 1,400 children were provided new toys for Christmas
  • Over $278,546 worth of items were distributed to furnish hope to families in the six county Chicagoland area.

I can assure you that your investment will have far reaching impact on your business and your community.  I look forward to discussing this opportunity in greater detail.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

Beth Carey
