4th Annual Charity Ball

To Benefit Saint Frances Animal Center

Dear Friends,

We’re so excited to be working on the 4th Annual “Black Tie & Tails” Charity Ball to benefit Saint Frances Animal Center. If you joined us for this year’s event, you know it was a wonderful evening…..even the band didn’t want to leave! However, you might not know it was the shelter’s third best fundraiser – ever.  Over $42,000 was raised at the 2008 Ball! The Charity Ball Committee is very proud of that accomplishment and has set its sights on achieving another fundraising record. You can help by becoming a corporate or individual Sponsor for the 3^rd Annual Charity Ball, which is scheduled for February 14, 2009.

As a “Black Tie & Tails” Charity Ball Sponsor, you will help hundreds of homeless pets housed at Saint Frances Animal Center and support the incredible programs Saint Frances offers to the community - adoption services, low-cost Spay/Neuter, Trap/Neuter/Release, “Animal Wellness” services for low and limited income residents of Georgetown County, and “humane” education.

There are several ways you can support our event:

* Diamond Sponsor:           $ 2,000 includes 4 tickets                  

* Platinum Sponsor:          $ 1,200 includes 3 tickets

* Gold Sponsor:                  $ 750 includes 2 tickets                  

* Silver Sponsor:                $ 500  includes 1 ticket 

* Bronze Sponsor:              $ 200 (includes no tickets)

* Silent Auction Gift:         Category based on Value

Your Corporate or Individual Sponsorship will be advertised in the Event Program, on Sponsor Signage at the Ball, and in other event materials. Why not become a Sponsor and join us at the Ball?  Mark your calendar - February 14, 2009, 6:00 PM, at the historic Winyah Indigo Society Hall in Georgetown.

Thank you for considering our request of support. For your convenience, we have included a Sponsor Form. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at (843) 546-0780, or, visit www.stfrances.info .

On behalf of all the members of the 4th Annual “Black Tie & Tails” Charity Ball Committee, “thank you for your generosity and support of our ongoing effort to help the homeless and helpless animals of Georgetown County.”

Kindest regards,

“Black Tie & Tails” Charity Ball Committee
