Emma B Howe YMCA - 10th Annual Gala - Looking for Sponsors and Donations for silent auctions

The Emma B. Howe Family YMCA in Coon Rapids is preparing for our 10th Annual Gala – Everyone Deserves Greatness to raise funds for various YMCA programs that serve our community. We will be hosting the Gala on Thursday, October 1, 2015 at Courtyards of Andover event center. We would be honored if you would partner with us by being a sponsor or donating an item for the silent auction portion of the Gala. This fundraising effort ensures that we never have to turn anyone away from YMCA programs due to an inability to pay.

Not only will your donation be recognized at our event, but, more importantly, the funds raised by your donation will impact the lives of deserving youth and families in our community. We hope that this marketing opportunity, in combination with the personal satisfaction of making a difference, incentivizes your participation. Last year’s event raised more than $52,000—money that is directly fulfilling the YMCA’s mission for Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. Our goal this year is $75,000 and can only do so with your help.

Please direct any questions you may have to Lisa Kraemer at 763-717-1826 . You can drop off or mail your donation to the Emma B. Howe YMCA, Attn: Lisa Kraemer, 8950 Springbrook Drive, Coon Rapids, MN 55433.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. We look forward to your participation in an effort that truly makes a difference in our community.
