Description

My name is Kandice Henry and I am writing on behalf of the Shining L.I.G.H.T.E Youth Charity, a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting and empowering underserved youth in our community. We are reaching out with great excitement to request your support for our upcoming End-of-Year Program Celebration by providing free or discounted tickets for 50 youth and 10 adult chaperones to attend a Lion King Show.

Our mission is to broaden the horizons of the youth we serve—many of whom come from under-resourced communities and have limited access to enriching experiences beyond their immediate environment. Attending a renowned theatrical performance such as the Lion King would be a unique and unforgettable opportunity for them. The opportunity to see such an iconic play combined with the theatrical elements offers not only entertainment but cultural exposure and education in a format that is both fun and inspiring.

This experience would mark the first time most of our participants have attended a theatrical performance of this magnitude. We believe that your generosity could play a significant role in helping our youth feel celebrated, inspired, and motivated as they close out a year of growth and achievement.

We would be grateful for any level of support you could offer—whether complimentary tickets, a group discount, or a combination thereof. In return, we would be more than happy to acknowledge your support through our social media channels, newsletters, and any event materials or announcements during the celebration.

Thank you for considering this request and for your continued commitment to providing memorable experiences to the community. Please feel free to contact me directly at Kandice@shininglighteyouthcharity.com if you have any questions or require further details.
