Dear ______________:
I'm pleased to be serving as a sponsor of the Governor's Luncheon for Scouting, the nation’s largest community-based fundraising event for the Crossroads of America Council, BSA. The luncheon takes place this year on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis. Would you consider joining me?
The gathering is Tuesday, December 12, 2023, at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis. at 11:30 a.m. The program runs from noon to 1:15 p.m. If you can join me, please arrive early -- between 11:15 and 11:45 a.m.
In prior years, the Governor's Luncheon enjoyed a large attendance of more than 2,000 business leaders, state and local dignitaries, and Scouting supporters. The Governor's Luncheon for Scouting serves as the launch point for Scouting's 2024 Friends of Scouting campaign, which builds capacity for Scout programs and outreach initiatives that impact more than 24,000 young people in Central Indiana. Governor Eric Holcomb will provide the keynote. Another exciting, fast-paced, high-energy program has been planned by this year’s Co-Chairs, Steve Campbell, Kip Chase, Akilah Darden, and DuJuan McCoy, to feature extraordinary Scouts and volunteers from the Crossroads of America Council.
During the luncheon, you will be asked to pledge your support for Scouting in central Indiana. Donations may be made through corporate pledges and/or individual pledges, payable anytime in 2024. Should you be unable to attend but would like to support Scouting in central Indiana, you may do so online.
Please RSVP to me by Friday, November 17. I look forward to hosting you at the Governor's Luncheon and promise you an impressive and inspirational event for Scouting in Indiana.
Very truly yours,
