Dear Sponsor,

On behalf of Deltas of Charlotte Foundation (DOCF), I would like to ask your support of the 2015 Annual Charity Bachelor Auction. The Annual Charity Bachelor Auction hosted by DOCF is an event that provides an evening of fun and the opportunity to give back to our community. The event includes a silent and live auction. The silent auction gives attendees an opportunity to select from a variety of items such as artwork and jewelry provided by local retailers. During the live auction, over 500 ladies have the opportunity to bid on date packages with some of Charlotte's most successful and eligible bachelors ranging from ages 25 to 65. The gentlemen represent a diversity of cultures, careers and personality.In addition to a date with a bachelor, each winning bidder will receive a package consisting of various items such as gift certificates for dinner for two, spa services and tickets to cultural and entertainment events.The proceeds from the 11th Annual Charity Bachelor Auction will be used to support DOCF's mission of strengthening the community by implementing and supporting programs that improve the quality of life for women and their families in the greater Charlotte region. With this assistance, DOCF has been able to give over $33,000 over the past five years to scholarships and charitable organizations such as:

- Scoggins/Shadd Breaking Barriers Scholarship Fund- Hope Haven - Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy Math Tutorial Initiative

We will hold our 11th annual Charity Bachelor Auction on April 25, 2015 and invite you to contribute to this worthy cause. Please find enclosed a sponsor packet with information on our mission, how to contribute, and the projects and organizations we support.Should you have questions or need additional information, please email [email protected].

Very truly yours,

Valerie Lott, ChairpersonDeltas of Charlotte Foundation
