The Fraternal Order of the Eagles are hometown builders. We help raise money for our communities and provide assistance to those who are experiencing hardships. Last year, we were able to donate more than $20,000 to various local and national charities through our fundraising efforts — the golf tournament alone provided approximately onethird of those funds. And these donations do make a difference:
“I can not begin to thank you and the Eagles’ 945 enough for all that you did to help our cancer patients and families at Christmas. The families were overwhelmed by your generosity and some were brought to tears. Dealing with cancer is difficult at any time of the year, but it is even more so at Christmas. Cancer can devastate a family’s financial situation and make affording Christmas gifts for children feel like an impossible task. The kindness and generosity of your members make Christmas a reality for families who would not have been able to provide Christmas presents for their children on their own. Please express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the entire Eagles’ 945.” — Rhonda Edwards, Memorial Hospital Center for Cancer Support
This year, the golf tournament goal is to raise $15,000, and we can do it with your help! Consumer surveys have shown time and time again that people prefer to patronize companies that are invested in the local community through charitable contributions. This year, we have made it easy to choose your level of sponsorship. (For level details, see the enclosed brochure.)
For $1000, your company will be recognized as a Platinum Level Sponsor. For $500, your company will be recognized as a Gold Level Sponsor. For $200, your company will be recognized as a Silver Level Sponsor.
Hurry! Sponsors should be signed up by August 9, to take full advantage of their chosen sponsorship level. We appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely,
National Eagles’ Diabetes Research Center Eagles’ Jimmy Durante Children’s Fund
