Dear Ms. Shore,
On behalf of the Organization for a New Equality (O-N-E) we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture for your contribution to the silent auction at our annual Medal of Hope Dinner. Your donation of a Gift Certificat valued at $50.00, was auctioned off for $40.00. This year’s silent auction raised a total of $5,410.00, which in turn allows O-N-E to provide financial education and asset building programs to individuals and families across the nation.
The Medal of Hope Dinner is O-N-E’s signature event and this year over 200 people attended to celebrate and honor Helen B. Spaulding and induct Citizens Bank in the Economic Opportunity Hall of Famie, while Dr. Julianne Malveaus’s riveting keynote address drew a standing ovation. O-N-E’s 21 years of work boasts a reach of over 500,000 in low and moderate income communities. In additino to being a front runner in the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Reform over a decade ago, O-N-E has undertaken asset building initiatives and policy and advocacy initiatives in recent years.
Again, we thank you your commitment to economic equality. Your generous contribution has helped O-N-E raise critical funds and will allow O-N-E to continue to bring people into the financial mainstream for many more years to come.
With gratitude,
Joseph E. Washington, Chariperson & CEO
