Bernie & Phyl’s Donation Site

Dear Bernie & Phyl,

On April 29, 2006, the Odyssey Parents Association hosted thier 9th annual Auction.  We thank you for the essential rold your donation played in our success.

Since all proceeds went directly to the school’s academic enrichment, scholarship reserve and special programs fund, you have participated in helping a child receive a high-quality education.  As a self-supporting school, fundraisers are necessary for us to continue to provide high-quality, affordable education and child-care services.  We turn to friends, families and businesses for that support.  We want to say thank you for answering our call! 

On behalf of the students, families, faculty and Board of Directors of Odyssey Day School, we thank you for your generosity, thoughtfulness and continued support.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Herrera

Dear Ms. Dean:

On behalf of the Board and Staff of Family & Children’s Service, we thank you for your generous donation in support of the agency’s 14th Annual Spring Reception and silent Auction.

We will be honoring Sam and Anne Davis for thier commitment to helping the agency further its mission - to help children and families in Lynn THRIVE.  The proceeds of this event will support all of the agency’s prevention and skill-building programs designed with that mission in mind.

Your donation of a gift certificate for $25.00 to the silent auction will be a key element in our success, and will be acknowledged by our Master of Ceremonies.

Thank you again for your interest and support.  We hope you will consider helping us again next year.

Dear Ms. Shore,

Celebrating 25 years of employing individuals with disabilities.

Thank you for your recent donation of the Gift Certificate to Bernie & Phyl’s for the Silent Auction to be held as part of our Annual Employee Recognition Dinner, May 18, 2006.  This is our largest fundraising event of the year and the proceeds support the deserving women and men who are our special employees.  We truly appreciate your participation in this effort.

By joining with others throughout the extended Employ+Ability community, you are helping sustain the positive experience of competitive employment with benefits for more than forty adults who have disabilities for over 25 years.  We will recognize your donation at the event and we will share the list with the 300 guests who are expected to attend.

We truly appreciate your positive response to our request for a gift for our silent auction, and we look forward to another successful event this year.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

James Middleton
President

Dear Bernie and Phil’s Furniture,

On behalf of the 14,000+ members of the YMCA of Boroughs Family Branch we wish to express our sincere gratitude to you for your generous gift certificate for the Second Annual Spring for Yourth Charity Auction.

Thanks to your generosity the event helped raise over $15,000 for our Annual Partner with Youth Campaign.  The Boroughs Family Branch is thrilled to report that they have reached their $60,000 goal!  The impact of the annual campaign is significant.  In 2005 the YMCA awarded $95,000 in scholarships for youth and families.  These scholarships provide many opportunities for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in childcare, teen initiatives and attend summer camp.  Equally exciting is the influence that many of these young people have on our community as they develop their leadership and socialization skills.

Again, many thanks for placing the YMCA Boroughs Family Branch among your charitable priorities.  We look forward to working with you on the 2007 Spring for Youth Charity Auction!  You truly are our partner in our mission to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

Sincerely,

Ed Stake

Chair
2006 Annual Partner with Youth Campaign

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your generous donation of a $25 Gift Certificate for the Camp Fire Auction. Asking people for donations is one of the most challenging jobs for the volunteers and staff here at Camp Fire. Our committee is willing to ask because they believe so wholly in what Camp Fire achieves for children, whether at a drop-in center, an after school program, or summer camp; and so we ask and hope that everyone is as generous as you. Your donation, given so freely, will be acknowledged at our auction and in our program book. The auction will be held on May 1, 2004, at the Knights of Columbus in Lynn.

The funds raised at the auction will help us achieve our mission: Camp Fire Boys and Girls builds caring, confident youth and future leaders.

Without support like yours, many of the club, camping, and self reliance programs could not continue and the children who participate through sliding fees and camperships would not be offered that assistance.

Once again, from all of us at Camp Fire, our heartfelt thanks for your support and help.

Sincerely,

Auction Committee
