My name is Scott Austin and I’m a part of the team at The Summit Church. Each year we raise funds at our auction--The Big Give--to support local organizations and individuals. This year’s event will be held at Lone Summit Ranch in Lee’s Summit. The mission is--raise money to support our community. Last year we were able to do so many incredible things through the generous gifts and money raised. One of those things was coming alongside Kansas City G.I.F.T. by providing funds to assist them in their goal to provide Black-owned businesses in Kansas City, with a specific interest in businesses that operate in low-income areas.

Funds raised this year will support community organizations, one of those being Flourish Furniture Bank. Flourish is the only not-for-profit furniture bank in the Kansas City area. They provide donated furnishings and home essentials to offer a “hand up” by meeting household furnishings needs of those on the margins in KC.

No matter how big or small, every gift received helps create moments of generosity and hope. To make our auction a reality, we are seeking assorted items to auction off. Would you be willing to help by giving an item? Every item helps! Because the items auction for more than their value, your support will be multiplied in BIG ways! 

We’re hosting our benefit auction event on Friday, September 15, 2023, to raise funds to continue supporting our community. We would like to ask your company if you would be willing to donate an item for the auction.

To donate, please email austins13@gmail.com me or call (816) 213-0959 to discuss and make arrangements. 

You can also attend the in-person event on Friday, September 15, just go to https://thesummit.church/biggive for more information. 

Thank you for your consideration. Be a part of being FORLS and beyond.
