Dear Friend of St. Mark’s School:

I am writing to you today to request your support for our St. Mark’s School Annual Virtual Carnival by making a donation to our silent auction.

When: Our Annual Virtual Carnival to be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022.

Why: All proceeds from our silent auction provide financial aid for families facing a financial crisis so their children can stay in school without disruption during hard times. We also fund major improvement projects to enhance the children’s experience here. This carnival has provided us with a means to help us help ourselves for over 40 years.

Who we are: St. Mark’s School is a non-profit center serving up to 150 young children, ages infant through pre-kindergarten, annually since our doors opened in 1968. We have been able to remain open for families of essential workers throughout this challenging year and appreciate any support you can provide. Our carnival, which is now virtual, has built a reputation for family fun and good value since 1974 and is enjoyed by families within and far beyond our immediate community.

We need your support for our auction. Please consider making an in-kind donation with any appropriate marketing materials. We are grateful for any consideration you can give. You may be sure our families will appreciate your support and your donation will be used for a good cause.
