Description

 

We need your help sharing HOPE with families experiencing poverty in Guatemala!

Common Hope’s mission is to end the cycle of poverty for impoverished children and families in Guatemala. The organization’s largest event is Noche de Colores – NIGHT OF COLORS – an evening that transports guests through the colors, flavors, sounds, and culture of Guatemala. This year’s event is at The Saint Paul RiverCentre on Friday, May 6, 2022. We are so excited to gather more than 350 guests to UNITE IN HOPE! The event raises over $300,000 in critical funds to make sure children can go to school and get their diploma – an accomplishment that can bring their entire family out of poverty!

 

During the evening, the most popular activity at the event is the BUEN VIAJE Suitcase Raffle, which means “good trip” in Spanish.

 

BUEN VIAJE is a raffle with 125 ‘suitcases’ – boxes with a surprise in each one! We are reaching out today to see if you would consider donating one of these special prizes as a charitable in-kind gift from your business. So many things make great raffle prizes for inside the suitcases: gift cards, a product from your company, a special service, or cash – any gift type is greatly appreciated! That said, we also acknowledge that COVID-19 and social unrest have undoubtedly impacted you and your awesome staff. If you have any room to give, please consider us. It would be an honor to promote your business and promote your commitment to hope.

 

We will acknowledge your generous gift by including your name on our website, in the suitcase prize box, as well as on raffle signage at the event. We are expecting over 350 people to attend, so you will get great exposure while supporting a small organization that does big work!
