On Saturday February 17th, WomenSafe the Green House will host a “Totally 80’s” Casino Night 2024 at LaVera Party Center in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. This is our agency’s largest annual fundraiser, with proceeds funding our mission of providing emergency shelter and support services to survivors of domestic violence. The evening will include a sit down dinner, open bar, assorted casino games managed by professional dealers, silent auction, raffle auction, wine pull, sideboards and live music!

I am writing this to respectfully ask for your support by donating a gift certificate, basket or item to be used in our silent auction. Last year, in-kind donations alone raised over $18,000 in the silent auction that directly provided the crucial financial support for WomenSafe, where each night up to 32 adults and children take refuge from the traumatic circumstances of domestic violence. We depend on companies like yours to ensure a successful fundraising initiative to assist in supporting the multitude of free services to survivors of domestic violence, thanks to donors like you we can continue our mission.

As a survivor of domestic violence, I have made it my mission in life to help others escape the traumatic circumstances that I endured myself. The reality is more than a just a safe place to reside but also a complex support system and programs to help rebuild the lives of those torn down by mental, financial, physical and/or sexual abuse.

By donating an item, basket or gift certificate WomenSafe provides valuable promotion opportunities for your business, demonstrating your commitment to ending violence to current and potential customers or clients. By aligning your brand with WomenSafe, your business will gain print and online exposure to WomenSafe followers and supporters who are philanthropic and passionate about creating safer, more equitable communities.

More importantly, your support saves lives, directly extending critical and unduplicated services to survivors of abuse. From those calling WomenSafe home tonight, thank you kindly for taking the time to review and consider this request in donating to our Casino Night 2024 silent auction.
