From our friend Justus at Make A Wish:
I hope to see each of you at the Indianapolis Hope is Essential Gala on August 28th! You can experience a wish through the eyes of a child by allowing your imagination to be brought to life at the JPMorgan Chase Make-A-Wish Central Indiana Hope is Essential Gala presented by FedEx. We will have meaningful mission moments, a celebrity emcee, local entertainment, and more! With your many connections and ties to the Indianapolis community, we would not only love to have you there with us for a night of granting wishes, but would love your support in making the evening as impactful as possible! Below are two of our primary remaining needs for gala. Would you consider supporting us in either or both of the opportunities below? The proceeds of our entire gala fundraiser go directly toward granting the wish of local wish kids. Can you help us make this happen by connecting us with some of the resources you might have access to? Thank you so much in advance for your continued support in granting lifechanging wishes for IN kids!
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
SILENT AUCTION:
This is a HUGE need as we aren’t getting the typical response that we would in a normal year. We are really looking for packages with a value of $100 +. Do you have any access to tickets, gift cards, swag? If you or your company might consider donating a silent auction item or basket with local goodies or experiences, we would greatly appreciate it!
ALCOHOL:
We are putting together a live auction package called the Ultimate Wine Cellar and we could use your help. It is our hope to include the following:
Sommelier
Private Chef for in-home dinner party
Off-site wine storage in temperature controlled unit
75 bottles of wine valued at $75 per bottle signed by local celebs (think top corporate executives, athletes, university coaches, media personalities, race car drivers, etc.)
Will have a little note around the next explaining why the wine is their favorite bottles and/or why MAW is important to them
Do you have any connections and can help make an ask for us and would you consider sending in your favorite bottle?
I have attached our “ask” letter if you could help send this out.
Things are really shaping up! We appreciate your help in bringing it all together. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
Wishes Deliver hope and hope is essential.
Join us for an evening you won’t want to miss!
