Thank you for your consideration in supporting Alexander Graham Bell School’s Bet on Bell Gala to be held on Friday, February 24, 2023, at Artifact in Chicago. Each year, this event broadens awareness of our award-winning neighborhood school and raises critical funds to support our robust programs for 900 students from preschool to 8th grade. Bell is also a Regional Gifted Center and is proudly one of only eleven Chicago Public Schools (CPS) that serves students in our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program. Your support will help fuel our mission to teach students the

foundational academic and social skills they need to achieve their highest ambitions while being respectful, thoughtful, and well-balanced citizens of the world.

This Gala is critical to our fundraising success, and this year’s event is more important than ever. With CPS budget cuts, we are working to supplement budget shortfalls so that our students can thrive. The funds we raise will provide teaching materials, lower class sizes, fund positions like School Counselors and Aids, improve technology, and fund programs like Art, Music, and after-school activities.

We are seeking an in-kind donation of merchandise, services, experiences, or a gift certificate to entice our 300 guests to participate in our silent auction. We aim to support local businesses and hope to partner with you!

We would be happy to recognize you as an in-kind sponsor in our promotional materials and in our printed program. With this donation, you would reach Bell’s community of more than 900 students and 100 teachers and staff members.
