Goodwill 35th Anniversary

Greetings Friends of Goodwill, 
I am writing to you today concerning our upcoming 35th Anniversary Celebration on October 12, 2023. Here at Goodwill Central East Texas (GCET) we are so excited to celebrate 35 years of changing lives through the power of work here in Central East Texas. It will be a night of delicious food, enjoyable conversations, and inspiring stories about the impact your local Goodwill is making right here in our communities.
 
On this special night you will learn about the following:
·       History of Goodwill nationally and locally.
·       The impact and programs that make Goodwill “more than a store.”
·       Graduate of the Year
·       Achiever of the Year
·       Participant of the Year
·       Goodwill Excel High School
 
Some Good News! The event is free to attend with no major fundraising or big asks.
 
A Small request of you: I am requesting that you invite family, friends, and/or colleagues to fill a table of 8 to attend this wonderful night of celebration. If you have more than 8 to invite, let us know and we will make a 2^nd table free.  
 
Our goal is to provide awareness for your friends, family, and colleagues that you would like to learn a little more about Goodwill. Inviting people in your circle helps us ensure to live up to our promise that the conversations will be enjoyable, and that you can be a Goodwill advocate leading up to and throughout the night.
 
We ask that you commit to a table by emailing me directly Kevin.Bradford@LufkinGoodwill.org with the subject line, “35^th Anniversary” by August 28, 2023.  Our commitment to you is that this event will be about awareness and sharing about the impact of Goodwill, not a traditional fundraising event.
 
I would like to personally thank you in advance for helping me ensure that our 35^th Anniversary Celebration will be a night to remember by helping us fill the tables!
 
Graciously,
Kevin
