Dear Donor,

The purpose of my letter is to request a tax-deductible donation to Ladies Into Purchasing Stock (L.I.P.S.), As a member of L.I.P.S.; it is my pleasure to introduce you to our organization. L.I.P.S. is a ladies buyers group at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR™), whose goal is to make every child exhibiting an animal feel as if they are a Grand Champion Winner! As the top ladies’ buyers group at the junior market livestock auctions, 100% of our proceeds are contributed to the HLSR™ Scholarship Fund achieving our mission to raise scholarship money year-round for Texas youth involved in agricultural and artistic endeavors.

For the past 25years, L.I.P.S. has contributed more than 2million dollars to the HLSR™ Scholarship Fund touching the lives of many Texas youth not only through buying their animals but also through other HLSR™ venues such as Ag (agricultural) mechanics, calf scramble, sheep & goats, and rodeo tickets for the disadvantaged, etc. As part of our fund-raising efforts, we hold several events throughout the year, including live auctions, silent auctions and raffles.

On behalf of L.I.P.S., a 501(c)3 organization (Taxpayer ID 1-76-0391154-0), we are requesting a donation that will be used at our L. I. P. S. Annual Fund-Raising Auction in January, our L. I. P. S. Crawfish Boil held in April or our L. I. P. Annual Steel Horse Trail Ride in September.Your generous donation will be used at one of these functions to enable L.I.P.S to fulfill our goals.

Thank you for your consideration. Should you choose to make a donation, we will proudly acknowledge you as a sponsor on our website, in addition to a display at our major events.
