Mika's grandmother wanted her to attend DYS Little Shots Day Camp this year. But, she lived in Sandusky, had no transportation, and little money. That didn't stop Mika and her grandmother! Click here to read Mika's inspiring story...

| Silent Auction Procurement |
Our Fantasy Fest in the Rainforest Gala raises money for both our Big Shots
and Little Shots camps. Can you help us make this event a success by donating a good or service for our Gala silent auction? Or perhaps you know
of an area business that might be willing to donate an item, service, or gift card? Attached is a letter that can be used to introduce DYS to those
businesses you frequent. There is also a form here that your donor can fill out listing their donation as well as their name, address, and any
restrictions on the donation (such as an expiration date). Finally, we've included some auction procurement tips that we've found especially helpful
for those individuals soliciting donations for the first time.
Fantasy Fest in the Rainforest is planned for Friday, September 21 at the Nairobi Events Pavilion at the Toledo Zoo. For more information on doanting auction items, call 419-480-1796 or email events@dys4kids.org.
