A Note from Natasha
Less than three months, and time is ticking away quickly as we plan our upcoming October 10th anniversary Gala! We are thrilled to announce Hill’s Pet Nutrition as this year’s “Crown Jewel” presenting sponsor! We are so appreciative of their support.
We are also very excited to share that currently all sponsorships $5,000 and up for the Gala are being matched, dollar-for-dollar, thanks to the generosity of The Jack F. and Glenna Y. Wylie Foundation. Their continued support has been amazing. If you have been thinking about sponsoring a table, now is the time. As a reminder, all the revenue from this year’s event will be going directly toward operations. With this match, just know your gift’s impact will be doubled, which will help our students tremendously. You can check out the details here.
Not interested in a sponsorship for the Gala but still want to help? You may have seen in this newsletter issue we are looking for assistance from those who have connections to certain restaurants, local experiences, etc. where gift cards of $50 or more can be attained. We have many exciting plans in the works for this year’s Gala that we hope will be fun and engaging. With a goal of bringing in significant funds, through ways such as a live auction with higher ticket items, we also want to have a variety of enticing packages that guests can purchase at reasonable prices, too. Themed “pulls,” or raffles for packages/groups of gift cards, will be one of the many ways guests can participate in supporting Pawsperity. If you’d like to get more details and assist in this area, or may wish to volunteer in another capacity, please reach out to Erin at [email protected].
Lastly, at the end of the month, many of you will receive a mailed Gala invitation. If you wish to purchase tickets but are not sure if you are on the list, or have questions, feel free to reach out to Heather at [email protected]. Our Decade of Brilliance Gala will not only be a celebration of our 10 years of impact, but also a way to raise funds for our important mission of ending generational poverty.
