My name is Cherie, and I am representing the Michelle Young Foundation. We are currently in the process of organizing a silent auction to raise funds for our foundation's ongoing initiatives and projects as part of our annual donor dinner on May 16th. We will have partners, investors, donors as well as educators.  We would like to request for an in-kind donation such as a gift certificate, product donation, etc. This donation, if granted, will be part of the silent auction. Note this event is by invitation only for our VIP donors and city impact leaders.

This event will be held at Holman’s Table in St. Paul, MN. We anticipate around 50-100 people. All proceeds from this auction will benefit the foundation and its 2024 programs and scholarships, including the PILOT PROGRAM, Homework and Hoops.

The Michelle Young Foundation is dedicated to providing underserved students with opportunities, as well as supporting teachers with classroom funding. We firmly believe that every child deserves access to quality education and every educator deserves the resources they need to succeed.

Your generosity will be prominently acknowledged during the event, and we will ensure that all donors receive recognition in our promotional materials at the event, website and across our social media platforms.

If you are able to provide an in-kind donation, we would be sincerely grateful. Your support will play a vital role in helping us achieve our fundraising goals and continue making a positive impact for students and educators in need.

Thank you for considering our request. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of many.
