15 more days...

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is July 1st!

Our deadline is fast approaching... Remember, we want to raise $25,000 by July 15th for our Dream Maker Sponsorships and The Brandon Foundation College Scholarships Fund.

Since beginning our Dream Maker Sponsorship and College Fund programs just 10 weeks ago, we have raised over $19,000! Can you help cross the finish line?

This is only the beginning.

It is hard to believe that today and tomorrow are our last days at The Brandon Foundation for the 2013-14 school year. Time truly does fly when you're having fun...

As we bring our first year to an end, though, we know that it is not an ending at all. Over the past 9 months, we have learned what we are capable of, what our potential is, that God does and will provide, and that we are exactly where we need to be, doing exactly what we should. It is only the beginning...

The children of the foundation plan to return in the fall, allowing us to strengthen our bonds and work with them academically and socially and in faith. The love this group has for each other, among their peers and their mentors, is a love that cannot be broken. In fact, many students are saddened by the "summer break" and look forward to when we will see each other again, which is why we have several summer activities planned for the students individually and as a group. Be sure to watch our Facebook page for updates and news!

We cannot thank you enough! Your support was been astounding! In fact, we are almost sold out of tickets to our dinner and silent auction fundraising event in August, so if you planned to attend, please contact us right away:  brandonfoundation@hotmail.com. Have an amazing summer!

 

 

 

Planning for our future!

Dear Friends,

The Brandon Foundation will be hosting a fundraising event, including a dinner and silent auction, on Saturday, August 9, 2014. The event will be held at Main Street Bistro & Martini Lounge (200 E. Main St., Fort Wayne, Indiana, 46802). The doors will open at 6:00 pm; dinner will begin at 7:00 pm.     

The Brandon Foundation formed from a dream and opened its doors in August 2013. Quickly, we have gained the support of surrounding businesses, organizations, and families, and as we continue to grow, we need your help. It is your support that allows us to guide our students into becoming the successful young men and women we know they can be.

Would you consider helping our efforts? You can help make this a successful event by donating an item, gift certificate, a service, or a monetary gift. Your tax deductible contribution will make it possible for the children of The Brandon Foundation to grow, pursue opportunities, and develop as future community leaders.   

As a supporter of The Brandon Foundation, your company name will be inserted in the evening’s program so that we may thank you for your donation. The program will be viewed by an anticipated 100 attendees from the Fort Wayne community.

You may also be interested in sponsoring a table for our guests that evening. Your company or organization name will be displayed and thanked on your table so all attendees will recognize your valued contribution to help raise money for students’ futures.

We appreciate your consideration. Any donation in support of The Brandon Foundation will be well-received; no gift is too small. Donations may be mailed or dropped off to The Brandon Foundation, using the directions on the attached form. If you have an item that needs to be picked up, please call Melissa Hirsch at (260) 348-9504 to make arrangements. If we have not heard from you by June 30, 2014, we will give you a courtesy reminder call. God’s blessings to you!

Sincerely with thanks,

Caty Holm, Founder, and

The Brandon Foundation Board of Directors
