Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Jackie Dawson and I am the development/fundraiser coordinator for the San Fernando Valley Academy. We are a non-­‐profit, private school (K-­‐12) that helps low income and at-­‐risk youth, attain an affordable, private school education. The academy was established in 1902 and we have since been privileged to faithfully serve the San Fernando Valley, along with surrounding communities.

With changes in the academic landscape occurring at a rapid pace, we strive to keep up with new technology and evidence-­‐based teaching practices. On December 11, 2019, SFVA will be hosting our annual holiday program to raise funds for our school. Our school is currently in need of new STEM equipment, new computers for our computer lab, and general maintenance in our classrooms. Our holiday program will consist of the elementary and high school student’s Christmas program, a silent auction, a holiday drawing, and a bake sale. Proceeds raised at the event will go towards the betterment of our school. We our not able to meet our goal without the help of esteemed companies like yours. We kindly our requesting a charitable donation in the form of gift certificates and/or merchandises to be used at our silent auction.

By donating to our silent auction, you will help us meet our goal in raising the funds needed to continue to assist our children throughout their educational journey. Your donation is tax-­‐deductible and you will be acknowledged in our printed program for the evening as well as on our website: www.sfva.org.

Our tax identification number is: 95-­2108389. We humbly thank you for your time and consideration of our request. Our administration and student body are appreciative of your efforts and wish you a fantastic and festive holiday season.

Sincerely,

Jackie Dawson                                                                                                         SFVA Development/Fundraiser Coordinator                                                                  1-­‐818-­‐406-­‐9714                                                               jackelinedawson03@gmail.com
