Hi Teresa,
What is a Casino night? Our school is a K-12 and we are making up money for an Elementary Gym. Looking for something to involve community not just something sent home with the students.

Our donation letter...

I took a little bit from different ones, I read and this is what I
came up with....Remember to alter the letter when sending to
theatres, concert venues, airline companies, restaurants, amusement
parks etc.. If you can make the vendor feel they are getting a
specific letter for them as opposed to a generalized letter, they
may be more willing to participate. I have sent the letter to every
business listed in our city's chamber of commerce, the surrounding
cities chamber's of commerce, and the counties chamber's of
commerce.

We have collected to date:

Round tip for 2 to the Bahamas
Over $200 in hair and nail salon certificate
Over $250 in Local merchant certificates
Over $500 in restaurant certificates
3 days 2 nights at 2 different hotels
Bank of America in a Title Sponsorship Role (Sponsoring an event)
A company that will do ALL of our printing for free
A Local Restaurant to feed our volunteers at all of our events
1 year Family Passes to the Art Museum

I want you to know this was all done through email and fax only!!
No mailings yet, Our mail campaign will be for our second and third
events of the year.
Market your PTO!! Sell your PTO!!! Become part of the community!
Become part of the local chamber of commerce...the dividends and
relationships that will pay off in the long run are priceless!

Here is our letter......
