To Whom It May Concern,

The Illinois CPA Society, a membership organization of over 24,000 professionals, has two upcoming events featuring silent auctions to support the CPA Endowment Fund of Illinois (Tax ID#: 36-4261924). The Fund eases the financial burden of college tuition and provides scholarships and professional development opportunities. This year, the Fund inspired, supported, and rewarded over 245 deserving future CPAs and leaders in Illinois. We are working hard to expand our impact across the state, especially during these challenging times. 

Our two events are below:

Women’s Leadership Forum on Friday, September 17th at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel – our premier women's event – attracting 350 attendees. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Advancing Women in Accounting Scholarship. 
Young Professionals Leadership Conference on Friday, November 5th at The Metropolitan Club in Willis Tower – our signature YP event – attracting 250 attendees. 
 

Given the current environment, the event may change to a virtual format, but the date will not change, and the auction will continue as planned. 

Our success relies on the generosity and support of partners like you. We invite you to support our fundraising efforts by donating any products or services for use as an auction prize at either or both events. I would also be happy to provide information on how you and your company can support one or both conferences through sponsorship. We appreciate your support and consideration. 

As a donor, we will list [Company Name] in our promotional efforts, such as our official website, social media pages, and the onsite program. These efforts reach about 3,000 professionals. 

If you have any questions about the Illinois CPA Society, the Women’s Leadership Forum, or the Young Professionals Leadership Conference, please do not hesitate to contact me using the information below. I look forward to your reply. 

Best regards,

Sarah
