Greetings,
The National Guard Association of Texas Educational Foundation (NGATEF) will hold its 13th Annual Silent Auction during the 57th Annual NGAT Conference in Arlington, Texas, March 18-20, 2016. NGATEF is a non-profit 501c (3) not for profit organization. NGAT is a veteran’s organization with over 33,000 members who have or are currently serving in the Texas Military Forces.
Annually we hold a Silent Auction during our conference with proceeds benefiting the NGATEF that awards some $15,000 in scholarships annually. In the past, business and community leaders, such as you, have been most generous in donating products, service and cash (for the purchase of Silent Auction item). Last year our auction raised $5200.00, and we hope to exceed $6500.00 this year. We expect over 1000 attendees at our conference from all over the State of Texas.
As I write this letter we find members of the Texas Military Forces still protecting the borders here in Texas, serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt and Africa. The members we support never thought twice about answering the call to duty we hope you can help by answering this call for support. The Silent Auction has historically been our largest fundraiser and it can't be accomplished without the unwavering support of our fabulous contributors.
NGAT is committed to making a difference in the lives of National Guard veterans, Soldiers, Airmen and their families. Donations will receive recognition in our NGAT auction program. Your donation is fully tax-deductible (please check the appropriate box on the donor form, and we will send you a donation letter for your records after the auction). For your convenience, we have enclosed an NGAT Silent Auction Donation Form. Please return this form by mail, email or fax. In order for your donation to be printed in our bidding brochure, we must receive it by March 7, 2016.
We know you have many choices of organizations to donate to and we appreciate any support you can give us. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at tbz@ngat.org or at 512-454-7300. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. We greatly appreciate your support of the "Citizen Soldier" who serve in the Texas Military Forces. The Guard is "Always Ready, Always There."
