Hello -

I am a board member at South Little League in Winston-Salem, NC. South Little League is one of the oldest youth baseball and softball leagues in the Triad area, and we serve approximately 200 families per season in t-ball, baseball, softball, and Challenger league (neurodivergent children, teens, and young adult) divisions. 74% of the students in our boundary are considered economically disadvantaged, and we are in a majority minority area. We are also one of the few leagues that are privately owned, meaning we do not receive maintenance time or materials support from the city. All funds raised are done so by volunteers, and we have no paid employees.

One of ur largest fundraisers each year is an Online Silent Auction. This year, it will be held May 28-June 10, 2023. This auction has a much larger target audience due to the ability to be shared via social media. We are writing to see if you would be willing to donate a gift card or item to us for our auction? All funds raised from this event will go toward new light poles.

We appreciate any support you can provide, and we are looking forward to your response. A formal request on letterhead along with our IRS letter can be provided.

Kind Regards,

Wendi Stogner
