LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Woman’s Club thanks all for a tremendous virtual auction response
To the Editor:
On behalf of Boca Grande Woman’s Club, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our island community for its magnanimous support of our annual fundraiser. When it was determined that gathering in a tent for “A Grande Gatsby Affaire” was not in the best interest of our community, we proceeded with a virtual auction. Most of our generous ticket holders converted these purchases to donations. Many island businesses and residents donated unique items and experiences to the auction. Other altruistic Boca Grande residents provided sponsorships and donations.
On the evening of our virtual auction, we were humbled and overwhelmed by the benevolence of Boca Grande. We are also grateful to our Gala team of resilient women for their time and unwavering efforts to make this event successful. The money raised from this event will enable us to provide support to our Scholarship Fund and Community Grants programs.
We are currently assisting over 30 scholars for up to four years in their pursuit of post-secondary education. Each spring, we also provide funding for area non-profit organizations and local pre, elementary, and high school programs through our Community Grant Program. Your support is vital to the achievement of our mission and is so appreciated by our club members, scholars, and grant recipients. We are honored to be part of such a giving community and will continue to do good work on its behalf.
Gratefully yours,
Chris Reecher
Boca Grande Woman’s Club Inc. President
