I am reaching out on behalf of BASIS Texas Charter Schools, a network of top-performing public charter schools that has raised the bar for educational excellence since 1998. BASIS Charter Schools’ mission is to empower students to achieve at globally competitive levels through a transformative K–12 academic program that fosters a culture of hard work, intellectual curiosity, and a love for learning.

As we approach the end of our school year, we are excited to celebrate the upcoming Inaugural BASIS Texas Charter Schools Gala on Saturday, April 26, at La Cantera Resort in San Antonio. This event will raise crucial support for our Annual Teacher Fund, which plays a vital role in enabling us to recruit, retain, and reward the exceptional educators who dedicate themselves to ensuring the academic excellence of our students. Charter schools in Texas receive significantly less funding per student than traditional public schools; the lower funding makes it difficult for charter schools to compete with base compensation levels commensurate with those paid to traditional public school teachers.

One of the highlights of our BASIS Texas Charter Schools Gala will be a Silent Auction and we invite your business to contribute an item to help support this important cause. In return for your generous support, your business will receive significant exposure to a wide and engaged audience: 20,000 individuals, including families, business owners, philanthropists, educational advocates, and other local leaders. All in-kind donations are fully tax-deductible.

The Annual Teacher Fund is critical for our ability to provide a world-class, tuition-free education. Your support, alongside that of other local businesses, makes this possible. We truly believe that your involvement in this special event will not only benefit your business but will also have a lasting impact on our teachers.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to a memorable and impactful evening for our BASIS Texas Charter School teachers!
