Dear <<salutation>>,
In the past year, our sponsors have helped over 13,000 poor and vulnerable seniors and families
meet their potential. Without you, many seniors would be unable to remain independent and
in their own homes, and many families would struggle to find mental counseling, emotional
support, and a safe place for their children to live and grow.
Your support helps change the lives of people like Vicie, who would not be able to financially
support herself without the help of Catholic Social Services. “When I first started the Payee
Program, I was going through a divorce, and I didn’t have any money. Carly really helped me
by putting me on a budget. She helped me see that things would be better in the future for me.”
Vicie loves the holidays and going to church with her family, and now she can afford to make the
holiday season a little more joyful. “I think Catholic Social Services is doing a really great job. The
quality of the care I’m getting is 100% better than before, and Carly is so responsive to me. I have
already recommended CSS to others.” At Catholic Social Services, our sponsors help bring hope back into our clients’ lives. We are proud
to honor stories like Vicie’s every year at our Spirit of Hope Gala. Please consider sponsoring the
Spirit of Hope Gala on March 11, 2017 at the Hilton Columbus Downtown.
Enclosed you will find an outline of sponsorship opportunities, a registration form, and a return
