We are reaching out to you to request your support for The Visitation Annual Gala. This year, the event “Saturday Night Fever” will be held on February 26, 2022 at the Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook.  Our event is expected to draw over 300 supporters.  Participating businesses will be prominently featured in our event marketing, online auction website and in the program itself.  Our online auction will reach our parish community of over 2,500 families.

Can you help by providing us with a donation of a product or service or by choosing to be a business sponsor? Donations include but are not limited to a gift certificate to your business, event tickets, tangible goods or an exciting exclusive experience.

This fundraising event is critical to preserving and providing the resources necessary to maintain, grow, enrich and strengthen the academic experience for our children. Each week at Visitation School, over 1,000 children ages 3-14 are provided with a Christian education through its Catholic School and its Parish Religious Education programs.  Each year the proceeds from the Gala help off-set major, fixed costs such as renovation costs for the school building, needed education supplies, and support the salaries of Visitation’s amazing teachers and staff.

The success of this fundraising effort would not be possible without the amazing generosity of our surrounding community. We hope that we may be able to count on your support this year, either through a sponsorship, monetary donation, or a donation of goods or services for our auction. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. If you are interested  in a making a donation, please contact Kris Buhrfiend at 630.886.5544 or kristen_cecil@yahoo.com.

We greatly appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this request. Please do not hesitate to contact Kris Buhrfiend with any questions you may have or to arrange a pick-up of your donation. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Gala Auction Committee
