Dear Friend,

I am reaching out on behalf of The Gateway Family YMCA to ask your assistance in supporting our major fundraising event for the YMCA. On May 8, 2019, we will be holding our Y We Care: Tricky Tray Auction fundraiser, the proceeds of which will go to offset the financial support the Y provides. Last year, The Gateway Family YMCA provided over $635,000 in financial assistance to local families in need of vital services and programs including childcare, adult day services and housing.

We ask that you help make this Tricky Tray fundraiser a success. At this time, the YMCA is accepting donations for quality gift baskets, gift certificates and prizes.  Basket sizes include the following:  Small $50-$100, Large $100+, Premium $500+.  Monetary donations are also being accepted to assist the YMCA in purchasing prizes.

You can help the Y make a difference in the lives of so many! Donations are accepted at The Gateway Family YMCA - Association Office, 144 Madison Avenue, Elizabeth, NJ 07201. Our organization is a non-profit organization under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, so your donation is fully tax-deductible. Tax ID #22-1487381

If you have any questions, or are interested in attending the event, please call 908-249-4800.  Individual Entry Tickets are $45.

On behalf of the many individuals, your generosity will assist, and myself – Thank You.

Very truly yours,

Colleen Clayton
