Dear Contributor,

The Keesler Spouses’ Club* (KSC) is excited to be hosting its annual charity auction fundraiser, “Silly Wonka” March 31 - April 1.2022!  This event will be a 2-day auction that will proudly include products and services donated by businesses and individuals that support our military family. The goal for this auction is to raise money to award scholarships to our Keesler AFB community looking to further their education.  Eligible applicants include all dependents/spouses of active duty, guard, reserve, retirees and civilian personnel who work at Keesler AFB.  

We are proud to announce that last year we were able to award $30,000 in scholarships to 15 applicants!! This is all in thanks to support from organizations like yours. 100% of the proceeds from our annual auction are awarded to scholarship recipients. 

The KSC has been operating as a non-profit and 501c3, non-profit charitable organization (Tax ID# 64-0471623) for a combined total of 65 years.  We believe it is very important to give back and support those that have so generously supported us throughout the years. In addition to military scholarships, the KSC also donates thousands of dollars to organizations in need on the Gulf Coast as well as to state and national charities. Our organization strives to make a difference through our charitable donations not only here at Keesler, but also in the community in which we live. 

Your donation of a product or service to be auctioned off during this year’s event, “Silly Wonka” will help in securing scholarships for this year’s applicants.  We recognize that this pandemic has caused hardships throughout our community and our nation.  However, we would appreciate your support in ensuring these scholarships will be awarded to our deserving applicants.  We are hopeful your organization can contribute to our event this year. 

As a thank you, we would like to give back to all the donors who have been our backbone for all these years.  As an appreciation for your donation, we will be posting “Donor Spotlights” on our Keesler AFB social media pages during the online auction.  

This auction is the KSCs most successful event each year due to your generosity and support!  Thank you very much for your donation.  We look forward to a fun filled week that will raise thousands of dollars to help educate our military family!

Respectfully,
