To Whom It May Concern,

The Carroll County Area YMCA will be hosting its 8th Annual “virtual” auction fundraiser April 27th-April 30th.  The proceeds will be dispersed between our operating budget and our established endowment to ensure the longevity of the local YMCA and the programs which build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for ALL! Your support to the auction is impacting over 1,200 of our YMCA Members & program participants daily. You might recall our annual in-person fundraiser was postponed from May 2020 and changed to the virtual option in October 2020 due to the corona virus pandemic. Now, we have all had some time to adapt to the virus, understand how planning is a challenge etc., but this year our committee agrees to have another virtual auction. We hope you understand and support our decision for 2022. We were incredibly pleased at the number of people that joined us virtually for the last two auctions, and the community is excited about this upcoming fundraiser once more. We hope one day we can get back to in person auctions but until the show must go on…. virtually.

We are asking for donations and items for the auction and your business to support our mission. All donations are due to the YMCA by April 11th so we have ample time to upload the items to the virtual platform. Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Donation requests are merchandise, tickets, gift certificates, sponsorship, or any item you would like to send.  We promote and advertise all our donors and sponsors in Carrollton Democrat Newspaper, social media, as well as the virtual fundraiser platform.  Any item donated to the Carroll County Area YMCA is tax deductible and our 501 [c] 3 number is 43-1493664. 

Donations can be sent to:

Carroll County Area YMCA

101 N. Main

Carrollton, MO 64633
Thank you for considering a donation. Without the assistance of community-minded individuals like you, we would not be able to continue our work.

Sincerely,

Kathy Lock 

Executive Director
