Description

Amy and I are reaching out to you today to ask for your support again this year for our annual fundraiser. 

 

On behalf of co-chairs Beth and Curt Coolidge and Cece and Jack Hartman, we are inviting you to join us for a very special evening to Light Up a Child’s Life.

 

Benefiting the Maryville Crisis Nursery, the evening will be held at one of downtown Chicago’s breathtaking venues, Navy Pier’s OFFSHORE, on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and fireworks at 9:15 p.m.

 

The Maryville Crisis Nursery provides 24-hour childcare to families facing a crisis, including homelessness, domestic violence, medical emergencies, and parental stress. The only crisis nursery serving Cook and Lake counties, it offers free services to children, ages birth to six, from four to 72 hours and up to 30 times in one calendar year.

 

As a friend of Maryville, we are reaching out to you for help to make a difference in the lives of the children and their families in our care. Your gift can be in the form of:

 

A sponsorship (Sponsorship materials are attached).
A donation
Or, joining us on June 1. Cost is $150 per person.
 

Maryville is a childcare organization rooted in Catholic social teaching and dedicated to preservation of the dignity of children at every age.  Its mission is to protect children and strengthen families. We offer life-changing programs in six service areas: behavioral health, early childhood, educational, family, Jovenes Adelante program and residential.

 

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 847-294.1982 or restivo-hockt@maryvilleacademy.org.

 

Thank you for your time and generosity. Your support will help us carry our mission to reach more children and families in need.

 

I’ve attached the materials for the event – hoping we can secure a donation of a room, etc. for our online auction.

 

In gratitude,
