Hi, my name is Jacqueline Cherepinsky and I am affiliated with the Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center (HAMEC). I was wondering if you would be interested in donating anything that could be bid on during our Annual Silent Auction and Dinner, taking place November 9th, 2024. The Annual Silent Auction and Dinner is our biggest fundraiser of the year and 100% of the proceeds of items bid on, go entirely toward Holocaust education and our mission.

The mission of HAMEC is to educate students and adults, personalizing the Holocaust so that they learn the consequences of racism, ethnic cleansing, and intolerance. The Holocaust was a watershed event, not only in the 20th century, but in the entire history of humanity. The study of the Holocaust provides us with one of the most effective ways to work with students to examine basic moral issues and value systems.

In the past year, HAMEC reached over 20,000 students and adults, at 162 schools (public, private, and parochial), organizations and events. Because of the pandemic, over the past couple years, most of our programs have been virtual (through Zoom and Skype), however, this year we have been conducting in-person events as well. Because of our ability to have the survivors, liberators and resistors share their testimonies virtually, we have been working with schools and organizations world-wide. Not only have we had requests from schools nationwide, but we have had requests from various institutions from countries of every continent except for Antarctica.

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) and our tax ID is: 23-1969470. I have attached a copy of our solicitation letter and a copy of our W-9 form.

If you are interested in donating our mailing address is:

The previous years were difficult for most, so we understand if people are unable to contribute, but we are extremely thankful for any donation. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Jacqueline Cherepinsky
