Tailgate For Trees - TreesAtlanta Organization

 

 

On September 12, 2014, Trees Atlanta will be having a “Tailgate for Trees” at the Kendeda Center. 

 

“Tailgate for Trees,” is a casual, tailgate-themed party that will serve as a kickoff to the annual planting season.  Festivities will include food truck fare, drinks, and a silent auction featuring an array of rare and unusual plants not available at local retailers, as well as woodcrafts and art pieces from local artisans and street artists such as you.

 

As a fellow woodcraft enthusiast, I am hoping you will join me in contributing to our silent auction to help reach our fundraising goal and to heighten the experience by donating your finest handmade art pieces. Donors will be recognized on the event invitation if the donated item(s) is valued at more than $250.  You will also receive two tickets to the event with a donation valued at $250 or more. Donors will receive recognition on signage at the event ($250 or more with logo, name listing if less than $250).

 

I am certain your artifacts will be a great conversation piece at the party. To make a donation to our silent auction, simply fill out and return the attached auction reply form by August 8^th, 2014.  After the conclusion of the event, all auction donors will receive a letter with our tax ID number, acknowledging their donation and the amount for which it was sold.

 

All proceeds from the evening will benefit Trees Atlanta’s tree planting and education programs. This year we reached the milestone of 100,000 trees planted across Atlanta—now we’re busy planning the next 100,000! You’ll be pleased to know that in the last year we’ve reached over 3,900 children through our youth education programs. All of this has been made possible by the support of people like you.

 

Please direct any questions to me at eli@treesatlanta.org or 404-681-4890.

 

We thank you for your consideration of our request. 

 

Sincerely,

Eli Dickerson
