To Whom It May Concern:

We are writing you today to make a formal donation request to our not-for-profit, Ducks Unlimited Annual Fund-Raising Banquet this April 1, 2023. Our current donors, sponsors, and underwriters require a request months before the event, so we are starting earlier this year with our requests. We are hoping this will allow more time for our supporters to review this information and potentially partner with us for this year’s event. I have attached a flyer that has event details for your review as well. If you are interested in attending the event, please let me know and I will send you out that information as well. We LOVE having our supporters present at the Banquet. Your support makes it possible for us to hold a successful event yearly and we appreciate your time and consideration.

If this is your first-time considering donating or even if you have been donating for years, I have included information and/or a recap for your review.

Ducks Unlimited is an organization that fights to preserve wetlands across the United States. Our event directly supports the New York Area. Funds raised during our events has helped clean up and preserve the wetlands in our area. Our events raise awareness, helps with educational events/video’s online, it also brings our communities together while raising money for a great cause. Support from you helps us preserve the wetlands, and we are hoping to continue or start a partnership with you for our 2023 banquet.
