Dear Friend of Ravenswood Baptist Christian School:
In 1972, the desire to provide families in Chicago with high-quality, affordable private schooling resulted in Ravenswood Baptist Christian School’s (RBCS) establishment. Each teacher is dedicated to helping our children, from preschool through high school, succeed and to telling them about God’s love. Many children educated through the elementary and junior high years are accepted to the most competitive magnet high schools in Chicago, and most of the children who graduate from RBCS’s high school go on to college. Every child, regardless of how long they stay, is immersed in an intellectually and spiritually challenging environment intended to reach new intellectual heights and spiritual depths. The school’s mission is to touch the lives of all of its students to make them stronger people and capable citizens.
However, we face many financial challenges in offering quality, affordable, Christian education in the city of Chicago. Many sacrifices are required to keep from raising tuition costs in order to keep up with the rising costs of maintaining the school. In order to continue providing affordable, academically competitive Christian education to our current and prospective families, we will be holding a Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday, March 14, 2009 with an expected attendance of at least 200 guests.
We are asking for your help to make a difference in our children’s lives by helping us in various ways. We will need donations in the form of cash or new goods or services to be auctioned off. Thanks to generous donations from community-focused individuals and organizations like you, our last fundraiser successfully raised $35,000.
We will acknowledge your gift with a receipt for tax purposes and recognize the donation in the auction program and through individual displays on the day of the event as well as an online listing of all donated items with credits.
