October 10, 2017 Re: Carnivale Mystique Scholarship Gala Donation Request Dear Education Supporter: The Delta Education and Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has a rich history of strengthening needed programs and projects for the youth of the Houston Community. Those programs and projects include: literacy, cultural enrichment, physical and mental health, STEM, teen outreach, and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. Each year the Foundation along with its partner, Houston Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., presents its annual fundraiser, Carnivale Mystique, in which proceeds provide scholarships for Houston area high school seniors. We are proud to report that over $1,000,000 in scholarships have been awarded. Our efforts to continue to serve our youth are based on our ability to secure necessary funding. As with any program or event that makes a worthy and meaningful impact, the success of it helps us to continue to achieve our mission. Because of your generosity and investment in the community, we are asking for your support. We are specifically requesting an in-kind donation that will yield funds necessary to meet our scholarship goals. As a 2018 DECF supporter, your donation will be tax-deductible. We will also include your company’s logo/name on our event program as a supporter. Together, we know that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the students. Will you help us? We thank you for your consideration and support of our scholarship fundraising efforts this year. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Grace Macklin at 281-684-6454. Sincerely,
DECF President
