Dear Neighbor,

We are reaching out on behalf of the Family Association of the East Bay German International School (EBGIS), located in Emeryville, CA. We are a preschool to high school bilingual school serving a diverse community of Bay Area families. At EBGIS, we empower our students to become creative and responsible world citizens.

As an independent non-profit school, we do not receive any public funding from the US or Germany. We must therefore raise funds to maintain our excellent academic program while also keeping EBGIS affordable and providing tuition assistance to eligible families. To accomplish this, we ask for the support of community-minded businesses like yours.

On April 30, 2022, we will host our second student art and silent auction that we hope to do in- person. Our entire community will come together for this event.

We ask you to support our school by donating items for the silent and/or live auctions. We also offer a limited number of advertisement opportunities through logo placement online or on event posters. Donations are tax deductible.

If you have any questions or to make a donation, please contact us at development@ebgis.org. You can find more information about our school at ebgis.org.

We hope to receive donations by April 15, 2022 so we can promote them throughout our community in advance of the Auction on April 30.

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting education in our community. We look forward to hearing from you!

Kind Regards,
