ST. JOHN'S HOMELESS SHELTER 4TH ANNUAL RESTORING HOPE GALA I am St. John's GALA SPONSORSHIP PACKET
411 St. John Street, Green Bay, WI, 54301 920-617-8700 920-664-4409 awood@sjehs.org ST. JOHN'S HOMELESS SHELTER & MICAH CENTER Greetings! We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to announce our 4th annual Restoring Hope Gala on Saturday, November 10th, 2018 at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center in Green Bay. For the past three years, we have watched our annual fundraiser grow into an extraordinary night of community partnership to care for our homeless brothers and sisters. Last year's event raised over $100,000 to help offset the costs of providing overnight shelter, mental health counseling, drug and alcohol treatment, medical care, and employment readiness to those struggling with the effects of homelessness in Green Bay. St. John's relies on community support to fulfill its mission. Contrary to public perception, St. John's does not receive any city or county funding, nor any ongoing financial support from St. John the Evangelist Parish, the Green Bay Catholic Diocese, or the annual Bishop's Appeal. Because of individuals and businesses like you, we are able to not just meet the immediate needs of the homeless in Green Bay, but also walk with them as they transition out of homelessness and back into self-sufficiency. This year's Gala will celebrate our history while dreaming of a future where homelessness no longer exists in Green Bay through the lens of "I am St. John's". In addition to the live music, dinner, silent auction and services auction, the night will include an auction of guest artwork and a live shelter gospel choir. Please see the enclosed sponsorship information for this year's event. A sponsor response form is also enclosed for your convenience. Please feel free to contact me at (920) 617-8700 ext. 109 or awood@sjehs.org with any questions or to secure a sponsorship opportunity. Thank you for your support and consideration. We look forward to seeing you on November 10th. Respectfully, Alexia Wood Executive Director
