Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM) is a 501(c)3 golden retriever and golden mix rescue founded in 1985.  Every year, countless volunteers work hard to create a fun day in September, called Goldzilla.  This is an opportunity for dogs and their owners to come together to raise money to support the mission of RAGOM— to rescue, foster, and find forever homes for golden retrievers and golden mixes in need.  100% of the money raised goes to support our rescued dog’s medical, emotional, and physical needs.  I am wondering if you would be willing to donate a family 4 pack of tickets to be used as a part of our silent auction?  Our goal is to raise $20,000 in the silent auction to help our overall event goal of $100,000, so your donation is really important to our fundraising efforts.

Our auction utilizes online bidding, which means people will have the opportunity to participate even if they are not attending the event, reaching a wider audience.  In addition, it will allow us to thank you with some free advertising for Valleyfair by including your logo and a link to your website next to the donation.  We have over 1,200 attendees at the event and many more online participating from afar.  Goldzilla is a wonderful event where people really enjoy hanging out with lots of dogs in support of a wonderful organization and cause.  

Below is our tax ID #, as well as our rescue website, our event website and our online auction website.  The event and online auction are being updated as we continue to plan for the event, but will give you an idea of its scope.
