Each spring, the Kenosha Literacy Council brings the
community together to participate in a wonderful
fundraising event—the Annual Corporate Spelling Bee.
KLC is gearing up for its 17th annual Corporate Spelling
Bee which will be held on Friday, April 8, 2016 at
Gateway’s Madrigrano Auditorium from 5:30 p.m. to
9:00 p.m.
Established in 1965, the Kenosha Literacy Council, a non-profit agency, trains volunteer
tutors to teach adults, who want to learn to read, write and speak English. This year we are
celebrating 50 years of providing literacy education to adults in Kenosha County. In 2014-15
the Literacy Council provided nearly 16,000 hours of English literacy education to 550 adult
learners from 40 different countries. 100% of the adult learners improved their English
communication skills. Literate adults are able to contribute to their families and their
communities, while improving their employment opportunities. The Kenosha Literacy
Council is registered as a 501(c)3 charitable organization with the Internal Revenue Service
so donations are tax deductible.
Our silent auction is always a highlight of the Bee, and we hope to include many local items
to promote Kenosha-area businesses. The purpose of this letter is to ask your organization
to donate a gift certificate and/or a small basket of items. Approximately 200 people attend
the Spelling Bee which is the Kenosha Literacy Council’s biggest fundraiser. One hundred
percent (100%) of the proceeds support the Council’s English literacy programs.
We hope you will consider our request for 2016. If you have any questions or would like
more information, please feel free to contact the Literacy Council at (262) 654-7323.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Hernandez
Executive Director
