Mundelein Cooperative Preschool is a local school that has been serving families from many communities for over 70 years.  MCP is unique, in that our school is run by parents who volunteer their time and energy in order to ensure the educational success of our children. 

Our school is a not-for-profit organization and relies on various fundraisers to boost our limited budget.  Our most important event is the “For the Kids” Auction, will be held this school year on March 24th, which typically brings in about 75% of the funds we need annually.  The “For the Kids” auction has been held for over 20 years, and is attended by many parents, alumni and community members every year.

I am writing to invite you to donate an item or a gift certificate towards our “For the Kids” Auction. Our parents appreciate your generosity in investing in our children’s success. For that reason, we do our best to let all of the community know you support this great cause. The donations will be photographed and listed individually online with the donating sources and value. All attendees will be able to bid on the items up until we close the bidding on April 3rd. Winners will then be selected and all funds will go directly to MCP and the items will be coordinated to be shipped or picked up.

Your business will benefit from your donation to our great cause in the following ways:

-Your business will be recognized in all promotional materials received by MCP parents, alumni, community leaders, and attendees.

-Your business will be acknowledged in MCP’s newsletter, the “Cookie Press.”

Our EIN # is 36-6001509

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our request.  Donations may either be mailed directly to the school, or we can coordinate us picking them up.  I will follow up with you in a few weeks to discuss your possible donation.  Please know that all contributions you make will positively impact our school.  Thank you again!

Any physical documentation such as 501(c)3 and event flyer can be emailed if requested.

I can be reached by email: Clairebear1316@gmail.com or phone: 224-730-0750

Sincerely,

Clarissa Woody, MCP Ways & Means Co-Chair
