To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing you on behalf of Bittersweet School PTO to request a donation for our Spring Festival scheduled for April 14th, 2022. At this event, typically attended by 400 of our students and their families, we raffle off gift cards, merchandise and services generously donated by businesses like yours. We also provide snacks and several carnival style games, free of charge, so that the whole family can enjoy their time together. The raffle portion is held in effort to continue to promote our mission and so that parents have something to look forward to, as well as the students. It is truly meant to be a community building event. Any proceeds will directly benefit all 550 of our pre-k-5th grade students by enhancing and promoting
programs that result in educational excellence and achievement as well as enhance their overall educational experience. This includes programs such as, all school reading programs, art programs, classroom supplemental supplies, and our
positive behavior program.

We would greatly appreciate any donation you can make. Should you make a donation for our Spring Festival raffle event, your business will be recognized on raffle displays at the event as well as in the school news letter and our social media page. We will also provide a donation receipt letter upon request. For your records our nonprofit tax ID number is 35-1821307. We request that any donations be received no later than April 1st, if possible.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (574)250-3639 or at bittersweetpto@gmail.com. On behalf of the students, parents and faculty of Bittersweet Elementary, thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jen Cerney
