Dear Director of Charitable Giving,

            The Offutt Officers’ Spouses’ Club is excited to announce our Ninth Annual Golden Ticket Silent Auction Fundraiser on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Thanks to the support from generous donors like you, our event continues to grow, allowing us to increase the overall support and impact made in the lives of our local military families. 
The money raised from this year’s auction will benefit local families of heroes stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska. Educational scholarships for graduating seniors, current college attendees, and military spouses wishing to further their education, are made possible through this event. Last year we were able to award over $18,400 in scholarships to deserving students. This could not have been possible without the generous support of our local community.
Please consider supporting our military families today. We are currently seeking donations, and would greatly appreciate a gift card, basket, or other donated goods and services to be used in this year's auction. Our fundraising activity is conducted entirely under the direction of the Offutt Officers’ Spouses’ Club, a private non-profit organization. Offutt Air Force Base and the United States Air Force are not sponsors of this organization or this function.
            For all contributions, please complete the pledge form attached to this email, or on our website (listed on the form). All forms can be emailed back or mailed to the above address. Donations can be picked up at your place of business, given to a board member, or mailed to the above address. We understand that you may prefer to donate in 2024 or January 2025 based on your charitable giving for the year. We are flexible with either option.
            Our auction is set to be an in-person event on January 25, 2025, but if the base guidelines restrict us from an in-person event we will hold an online auction. If you have any questions, please contact us at ooscauction@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Your partnership is important to us.
           
Sincerely,

Danielle Mann
