I hope you’re doing well. My name is Bianca Aguirre, and I am an Assistant Teacher at Montessori Academy of Glen Ellyn. I am reaching out to you today to seek your support for our ongoing efforts to provide a high-quality education to our students.

Through past donations to our annual silent auction, businesses like yours have helped to support Montessori Academy of Glen Ellyn. We seek your support and request donations to our annual silent auction for The Red Gate Gala Luncheon to benefit MAGE LTD-NFP, a not-for-profit corporation. Nearly 100 guests will attend this event, and the funds raised will directly benefit the educational needs of our students, capital improvements at our school, outdoor playscapes, and the expansion and development of our new middle school program. We hope you will participate this year by making a tax-deductible donation of a service, an item from your business, or a gift certificate to our auction, which will be held on March 2, 2024, at The Empress Banquets in Addison, IL.

We are a community of children, families, and educators dedicated to an exceptional learning experience guided by the Montessori philosophy. We are proud to serve Glen Ellyn and the surrounding communities.

Our students, ages two through fourteen, travel from Aurora, Batavia, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Chicago Elmhurst, Geneva, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Lisle, Lombard, Naperville, Roselle, Schaumburg, and Wheaton to participate in an environment that allows each individual to develop to their fullest potential in a climate of joy, respect, and freedom within limits. Your donation helps to support the education of the children living in your community while earning you the patronage of the school's family, friends, and neighbors.

The benefit luncheon, organized by parent volunteers, is the school’s largest fundraiser. We appreciate any donation we receive and would love the opportunity to showcase your business at our event. MAGE LTD-NFP is a 501(c)(3) entity, and your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Our Employer Identification Number is 45-4960698. Please send your donation to MAGE LTD-NFP, 927 N. Main St. Glen Ellyn, IL 60137, or you can call or email me at (773)-440-9180 or bianca.aguirre@mymage.org to arrange your donation.

We thank you in advance for your donation and support. If you would like additional information about our fundraiser or our school, please email us at grow@mymage.org, and we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

We understand that there are many deserving causes, and we genuinely appreciate your consideration of Montessori Academy of Glen ELlyn. Every donation, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to achieving our goals.
