Dear Local Business Owner and/Community Member,

 

Friends & Family of Rochelle Gambino are hosting their annual event, April 30th, 2022. “You’re A Miracle; A Tribute to Rochelle Gambino” is our 14th Annual Fundraiser/Musical Tribute, and will be located this year at Grace Hall Club, Ossining, NY.

 

Each year, we provide Croton-Harmon High School a music grant in the form of “The Rachelle Gambino Memorial Award”. This honor is given to one or more graduating seniors who plan to continue their collegiate studies in music. 

Past recipients have expressed their overwhelming gratitude and heartfelt connection to Rochelle by receiving an award in her memory – an alumna of CHHS who was dedicated to her craft of music. They’ve used these funds to further their colligate studies in the form of tuition, books, lessons, and instruments.

During the event we will enjoy over 8 musical acts who graciously donate their time, efforts, and equipment. These performers range from solo acts to local groups, as well as past recipients. All of whom, were somehow affected by Rochelle Gambino, either in life or in legacy through their love of performing. In our combined 12 years(missing 1 year due to the pandemic), our efforts have raised almost $40,000 in total donations.

Our largest success thus far has been our basket raffle/auction. We’re in the process of collecting merchandise for this portion of the event, and I’m writing to request your assistance in making this night an even bigger success. By donating a product, service, or gift certificate you’ll be helping to provide an award to a hard-working, deserving senior who excels in music, gives back to their community, and shows pride in character. Additionally, you’ll benefit from exposure of your company’s name to those who attend the event. Each year we have hundreds of attendees.

Please consider donating an item to support the continued work of Friends & Family of Rachelle Gambino. You may reach us at the contact information provided below.

Thank you in advance,
