Who Benefits from this benefit?
This benefit will hopefully inspire the communities of Brown and Door County to get back to enjoying a good book and afterwards discussing their thoughts of the literature with other like minded individuals, whilst supporting both the Door County library and Green Bay area library systems. I am also creating a sober living scholarship, for people transitioning from inpatient treatment into a sober living house.
*Non-monetary donations will be included into the baskets to silently auction off.
Monetary donations will be used to reserve your invitation to the shindig as well as receiving a special thank you in the form of a Level 1&2 membership on my website.
Reserve your invitation to the benefit/shindig ahead of time with a donation of $20 or more. These moneys will be applied towards the cost of your plate and ensure that you receive your invitation to the silent auction. Any additional moneys above and beyond what the vendors/venue costs will be applied to the beneficiary(s) appropriately.
$20-$249 donation unlocks Level 1&2 membership perks for a 6-month period, enabling comments on my website, www.danyellescozycorner.com and access to your own personal book blog complete with a search bar for easy remembering of thoughts about a specific author/book, much like a book diary. (Due to restructuring as a non-profit there is an unfortunate and unavoidable delay in use of perks. All donors will be added to the wait list and notified when perks are activated)
$250-$999 includes the Level 1&2 membership perks plus invitations for 2 to 8 people to the shindig depending on dollars donated, $125 donation per plate
$1000+ includes all previously described benefits plus your logo will be displayed on my website, along the red carpeting and on social media posts pertaining to this Shindig as a very special thank you.
