Eat.Drink.Give Gala Postponement Statement
We had been hoping to be able to hold our 4th Annual Eat.Drink.Give. Celebrity Chef Gala this evening. The outpouring of support we have received from you and our community has been phenomenal. However, given the recent escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot in good conscience move forward with the event at this time. The health and safety of the Legal Prep and greater Chicago community has to take priority over our event.
In order to recognize our amazing sponsors, those of you who have generously purchased tickets, and our outstanding honoree, Fred Snow, we will be rescheduling a celebration for a later date. We will pass along details as soon as that new event is set, but obviously we will need to wait until the CDC and other experts provide guidance that it is safe to move forward. In the meantime, if you would like a refund on your ticket purchase, please let me know, and we can work out the mechanics of getting these funds back to you.
Eat.Drink.Give. is Legal Prep’s featured fundraiser for the year. It provides critical support to allow us to fully serve our students with the law-related programming and the social-emotional structures that are needed. Given this postponement, we are hoping that our supporters consider bidding on our silent auction BELOW or making an individual contribution BELOW even in the absence of the event this evening.
Later today, we will also be sharing a video message from Fred Snow and the student written and directed video that was to play at the event. We will also be highlighting our silent auction. We hope that you and others will take a few minutes from your evening to listen in and consider making an additional contribution.
Please know that our staff, board, and volunteers appreciate your generosity and support of Legal Prep Charter Academy.
Thank you for your continued support,
Rather Stanton
Co-Founder & COO
