AAUW Preschool is a not-for-profit organization that provides high-quality educational programs to young children from 18 months (our Scout classes) to 5 years (our Adventure, Discovery, Voyagers, Explorers, Pioneers and Odyssey classes).  AAUW Preschool offers affordable programs, as well as the state-funded Preschool For All program to eligible families with children at-risk. Much of our working capital depends on various fundraisers held throughout the year.

Our largest family event and fundraiser is our annual Spring Carnival.  Now in its 47th year, it will be held on Sunday, May 19, 2024, from NOON – 4:00 P.M.   We are contacting businesses to request sponsorship to help make this event a success. Sponsors can select from a variety of levels, including cash and/or product or service donations (see attached Donor/Sponsor form). Please send your donation to AAUW Preschool or call us at 847-623-0550 if the donation needs to be picked up.   Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and are 100% tax deductible (our Federal Identification Number is 36-2258522). Additionally, you receive the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped a school that’s been serving families with young children for over 70 years.

The AAUW Preschool Spring Carnival includes children’s games, family goodie bags, raffle prizes and a silent auction. Many small items are needed for prizes for children’s games. Family goodie bags often include discount coupons and sample items and are a feature our families look forward to. Items raffled and auctioned off typically include gift certificates and marketable products or services.     

Our gratitude for your donation is shown in several ways:

-          All of AAUW Preschool’s 300+ Families and Carnival Attendees will receive a Carnival Sponsorship brochure.

-          Each sponsor’s name is prominently displayed on Carnival Day.

-          Each donor will receive a tax exempt thank you letter. 

Our carnival is open to the public so please join us for this fun filled family event!

Thank you for your consideration, time and support! Please call if you have any questions.  We look forward to working with you for our Spring Carnival 2024!

Sincerely,

Ann Adkins
