Description

My name is Kathy McMeins, and I am writing to ask you to support Lambs Farm by donating an item for the silent auction at our annual gala. Your donation will help our participants—adults with developmental disabilities—have meaningful jobs, learn new skills, compete in Special Olympics, make friends, contribute to the community, and create a life full of opportunities for happiness.

Our gala will take place on May 17 at Cuneo Mansion & Gardens, and the silent auction will go live Monday, May 13. If you are able to donate an auction item, we will share your name or your company’s name on both the Lambs Farm and event websites, on our social media platforms, and in our Lambs Tales publication, which has a 10,000+ circulation.

We welcome all auction items. Especially sought after items include restaurant gift cards, sports and travel activities and events, electronics, autographed memorabilia, craft beer and whiskey, and fine wine.

If you are able to help, please mail or email me by May 3. We would be happy to pick up your item if that’s easiest for you. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please call or email me at 847.990.3703 or kmcmeins@lambsfarm.org.

We are all so grateful for your friendship and support.
