Hello, 

My name is Jody Smith and I hosting a charity event for Fantasy Cares in Houston, TX on Saturday, July 6, 2024, at Spindletap in Houston. I am seeking donations from local companies. Merchandise, tickets, gift cards, experiences, or monetary donations that will be used as silent auction items. Any type of donation would be highly appreciated. 

Fantasy Cares is an official 501(c)(3) charity and your donation would be tax-exempt. EIN 83-2081038. We provide you with a Gift in Kind tax receipt for your donation. 

A little about Fantasy Cares. We started a fundraising group that utilized fantasy football as a way to raise money for Toys 4 Tots each year. It quickly grew and we formed a 501(c)(3) charity in 2022. In addition to our continued support for Toys 4 Tots, we also support other causes such as food banks like GoPantry, Every Meal, No Kid Hungry, and Feeding America. We helped Type 1 diabetes research charities like JDRF. We also ran a campaign for adults with disabilities foundations like SARAH Foundation. We donated to women's shelters like Alexandria House and raised money for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Also, we supported dog rescues like NorSled Dog Rescue and Roadogs. 

Last year, one of our events raised money for Break the Hold, a teen suicide prevention charity. This is just a small list. Our live events aim to help local charities in each of the 35-plus cities we'll host them in. 

We combined our passion for fantasy football and charity to help some great causes. We will be hosting Fantasy Care's headline event, The Scott Fish Bowl 14 this summer and will likely have over 50 people in attendance. It is a Pro-Am celebrity fantasy football league with nearly 4,000 participants worldwide. 

Thank you in advance for any consideration you can offer in making this event as successful as possible.
