Dear Donations Committee,

I am Claudia McDonough from the Alumni Association at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) Foundation.

On Friday, September 12, 2025, from 7 to 11 p.m., the CCBC Alumni Association will host its annual Alumni Crab Feast at the U.A.W. Hall in Baltimore. We are reaching out to request your support through a donation of a two (4) Go Ape gift cards to include in our silent auction.

Now in its fifteenth year, the Crab Feast is the Alumni Association’s signature fundraising event bringing together alumni, faculty, staff, and community members for a festive evening that features all-you-can-eat crabs, music, and a silent auction in support of CCBC student scholarships.

Last year’s event raised over $45,000 and welcomed more than 300 guests. Thanks to generous auction donors, the Alumni Association has established four annual scholarships, helping students pursue their education or begin their professional journeys. Over the years, this event has funded the educational needs of hundreds of students across CCBC’s campuses.

By donating to our silent auction, you are directly contributing to the success of CCBC students—many of whom rely on financial aid to continue their studies. Your generosity will be acknowledged in our event program, on-site signage, and digital promotions, providing meaningful visibility for your business while supporting a cause that strengthens our local community.

Our EIN number is 20-3246676.

Thank you for considering this request. We would be honored to include your support in this year’s auction.

Best,

Claudia McDonough
Coordinator, Annual Giving & Alumni Relations
