Dear Ms. Harper,

I am writing on behalf of Bright Futures, a non-profit dedicated to youth education, to request permission to host a fundraising event at Riverside Park on July 20, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our goal is to raise $5,000 for school supplies for underprivileged students.

The event will feature family-friendly activities, including a bake sale, games, and a silent auction. We anticipate 100–150 attendees and will ensure compliance with park regulations, including waste management and noise control. Could you confirm whether a permit is required and, if so, the application process? Additionally, would the city consider waiving any associated fees to support our cause?

We are happy to provide a detailed event plan or meet to discuss logistics. Please let us know your decision by July 1, as we need ample time to prepare. Contact me at (403) 555-8765 or via email for further details.

Thank you for considering our request to support local youth.

Sincerely,

Noah Patel

Event Organizer
