Backpack Drive
2023

Dear Business owner,

Hi there!
My name is Celeste, from Celeste Lovely Photography

​

BACKSTORY
In 2021, I put together a successful backpack drive independently and was able to raise 121 back packs full of school supplies, then split equally between all gaylord community schools and select foster families with the help of our Generous community! I cannot believe that we were able to raise that much back packs, school supplies & cleaning supplies for teachers of GCS and we were able to help over 121 students in need in Gaylord!

 

VISION

This year I plan on bringing the backpack drive back but with a bigger goal of 200 back packs! but not only focusing on back packs for Children but also boxes of supplies for Teachers for both Private and Public schools!

INVITATION

I am reaching out to YOU and many other local businesses to see if you would be interested in donating a backpack (or 2) full of school supplies, or Classroom supplies (*attached is a list for your convenience) on behalf of your business.

​

Along with this, I am offering a Back-to-school Mini Photoshoot scheduled on August 17th, Thursday in exchange to either a back pack full of supplies or box of classroom supplies for each time slot to give opportunities to families who are ABLE and willing to help other kids in need, or help support a teacher's classroom through their donation and IN RETURN get a free fun photo session from me for their kiddos.

​

MISSION

I am donating 100% of my time, talent, skills and effort as I plan this to be my biggest event as a way of giving back to our community. In 2015, when my eldest was starting up in kindergarten I was once one of those parents who had to make sacrifices, cutting down budgets somewhere else in order for me to be able to get him his school necessities. By doing this little way of giving back I hope to be able to help families who has to work extra hard this season to provide their children what they need this coming school year. 

 

GRATITUDE
As a Thank you, I would like to give you a shoutout by tagging your business page and perhaps post a logo of your business also on my social media pages and website. I also would like to thank you for your support & trust in me for allowing me to give back to our community. I am truly grateful to be a part of our community!

If you are unable to donate at this time, I totally understand and I want to thank you for taking your time in reading my email. Would you mind forwarding my email to someone who maybe highly likely to donate for a great cause?

I appreciate you and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions at all. You may contact me at 989.858.5494 via text or call.

God bless! 

Sincerely,
