Hello,

My name is Matthew Marra and I am with the Firefighter’s Benevolent Association of Osage Beach. I am reaching out seeking a raffle prize donation for our annual fish fry being held April 23, 2023. Every year our association holds this event and has become an expectation to the public. This is the ONLY fundraiser for our organization each year. The money earned during this event goes to help us fund multiple scholarships we give out each year to area students, fund community organizations as well donate to Midwest Children’s Burn Camp and the Fallen Firefighters of Missouri Memorial and numerous other things throughout the year. We serve nearly 1000 people a year and it allows the public a chance to put a face to the people who serve them 24 hours a day as well as gives us as firefighters a chance to discuss safety tips with them. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and your organization name will be mentioned on signage throughout the station during the event as well as mentioned multiple times during the event. Along with great exposure for your organization you will be helping ours by allowing us to continue giving back to the community through this fundraiser. I have attached an official letterhead containing our 501C3 tax number as well as my contact information and flyer. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
