Description

On behalf of the Holy Family Catholic School, we cordially invite you to participate in our upcoming Black and Gold Gala on November 20th, which benefits the children of our school. The gala will be held at Deercreek Country Club with live music, dinner, dancing, live and silent auction. With community and school support and donations for this past year, we raised over $50,000 and were able to classroom furniture for all preschool classrooms, begin upgrading kindergarten furniture, order new picnic tables for our new extended outdoor lunch area, and update landscaping around the building. We also had several generous donors who helped secure brand new projectors for every classroom as well as new STEM program enhancements.

This year we are excited to announce that we have several projects in mind; including, upgrading 1st and 2nd grade classroom furniture, upgrade interior building spaces such as front office, gym foyer, etc., and beginning the design process for a future STEM lab in the old youth room, with plans to complete the lab in the summer of 2023.

The success of these enhancements to the school is dependent upon the generous participation and support of our school families and business community – people like you! I am writing to ask for your support with a donation or a sponsorship of our school to kick of our fundraising efforts. We have set a goal of obtaining $25,000 in community donations this year and with your help, we can do it!

As a donor to our non-profit organization (501c3, EIN 59-3746849), you will receive a tax donor letter and your business will be recognized in multiple ways throughout the event. We know that businesses and families have limited resources available, and we appreciate your consideration in donating to and supporting our school. Your contribution is an investment in our community and the education of our students and future leaders.
