Dear friend,
On behalf of the entire team of the Shield of Athena Family Services, I would like to send a heartfelt thank you for your past support of our signature event: The Annual Art Auction. The funds gathered allow us to continue life changing services to women and children affected by family violence. This year's 19th Annual Art Auction will be held on Sunday, November 10 at Marché Bonsecours. This year's goal is funding our Phase II services.
 
Once again, we will have a multitude of beautiful artwork. There will also be a Silent Auction that will include many wonderful items as well as certificates to Montreal's finest restaurants and entertainment packages. We request you to please take a look at the sponsorship form and choose one of the sponsorship opportunities. You will notice that each option gives you certain benefits such as tickets to the event and great visibility for your business.
 
We thank you for your belief in our vision, and we trust on your continued support for people affected by family violence. Should there be any questions about our  organization or the upcoming event, please feel free to call us at: 514: 274-8117
 
 
Our Silent Auction is a growing part of this exciting annual event and we are now soliciting items. The Shield depends on the generous support of businesses and friends such as you to donate to our silent auction and to help us continue our services for women and children in need.
