36th Annual Harvest Festival on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19 | 12:00pm - 9:00pm

Our Lady of Las Vegas enrolls students in Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade. Proceeds from our annual Harvest Festival directly benefit our school and children by providing funds for campus and classroom improvements, educational programs, tuition assistance, Build Our Angel Fund, and continue to improve our Catholic based curriculum. It is the mission of Our Lady to educate the whole child; mind, body, spirit, and to make this wonderful education accessible for all who seek it. To accomplish this mission, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We invite you to partner with us as a Sponsor for the 2019 Harvest Festival. Please review the outlining Sponsorship Opportunities. Your donation will provide your business an audience of thousands within the community who attend the Festival. Money raised from sponsorships will successfully impact our school and, in turn, the lives of the students and families at Our Lady of Las Vegas Catholic School. In addition to the Sponsorship levels, we are seeking items for our Silent Auction which takes place throughout the day of the Harvest Festival. The Silent Auction is one of the most popular attractions of the Festival and another excellent way to contribute to the overall success of our event. This letter also certifies that Our Lady of Las Vegas is a non-profit; 501 (C)(3), tax-exempt organization and its employer identification number is 88-0059349. All donations are tax deductible. We deeply appreciate your consideration in partnering with us. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
